    Massive Sunbeam Hoard in Oregon

    I had the same feeling - like he doesn't seem to know much about his hoard. It wouldn't surprise me if we learn that he photographed a random find and is looking to scam someone.

    Can the Drivers side Head be removed while engine is in the Tiger?

    There used to a "rule of thumb" sort of opinion at the local drag racing scene in the late 70's, that .030" over what was the absolute limit for over-boring a 260/289. I think it came from Chittendon's book? Some claimed any engine bored over .030" would chronically overheat.

    Speedometer cable end not square with gearbox

    1) The "C" clip retains the plastic driven gear on the cable end. 2) The 15 or 16 tooth spiral gear is on the output shaft of the gearbox. 3) I don't think the diff has any parts affected by GL5, but I am not certain. Perhaps someone else on the forum know for sure?
