Another Jensen unicorn spotted
One of my vintage car club buddies sent me some interesting pics which he made in November 2010 (London, Portobello Road). First i thought: Yes - a nice Interceptor Convertible in his natural habitat - but then i stumbled across the double side vents of the engine compartment :shock: This looks defi...

Re: SP back to England
For me it was an eyeopener when i changed the plugs. Some of them extremely oily. Subjectively the engine ran nice and there was no obvious smoke visible when driving - even not for following cars - BUT some valve stem seals were extremely brittle and already split. Exchanging the valve stem seals w...

Re: Body wrapping of an Interceptor
hmm - one aspect beside the appearance issue - will the wrap really stand the temperature of the hood/bonnet in Tokio traffic conditions with hours of "crawling"?

Re: Jensen Int. MKIII 140/8609 At Estate Auction
i miss the typical MkIII louvres in hood/bonnet and have some doubts regarding the air cleaner housing and front/rear valances - but yes - fairly original and honest description. Auction result will be interesting.Robinson D wrote:Appears to be fairly original...

Re: Spark plugs
Hi Fredrik,
i second Steve's statement that you got the wrong NGKs.
I am currently running on NGK XR5 again. These are just standard NGKs for about 30 Euro per set of 8 - no superduper Iridiums.

Re: Rhythmic vibrations from 383
Before you start the deep dive with pulling the plugs etc what about a quick check with the infrared thermometer?
A misfiring / non-firing cylinder might be identified with lower exhaust port temperature.
Just an idea ...

Re: rocker arm shaft play
Hi Florian, first of all - just for understanding - are you talking about brand new engine parts or a used engine with high mileage? I have the impression some wear seems to be quite normal for the stamped steel rockers. As the contact forces are concentrated in the lower part of the rocker bore whe...
