i have never seen this . but i have no answer as to how or why .
copper rings were a common modification on turbo motors some years ago , may still be .

i have never seen a copper ring .

there is the groove in the cylinder which helps the seal .

oil filter is ryco Z82 or equivalent

spark plugs , Bosch W5AC

points , Echlin CS313 , i think they also fit an early Torana .

personally i would not even bother to try it in place
my best effort in removing a motor was 30 minutes .
a flange coupling on the exhaust helps
also the Austrian towbar with QD pins .

G,,day i have made a lot . my main bussiness is canvas work . 1 inch seatbelt webbing works best . from memory three layers through each eye and sewn the full length . multiple layers mean one is a wear layer on the ends . webbing is significantly reduced in strength if a hole is put in it for a bol...

Garry , i cant understand why you are having some of the problems you are having .

both ideas as to amount of grease sound good to me

kerry

a good strap wrench maybe preferable , so you dont damage the screw on cover .
or a worm drive hose clamp around it and tap it undone .

ps , i read it quickly , and when you know how it is easy to miss things that are obvious

G,,day

from memory
earth straps , a pair of flat braided ones . the ends are hard soldered or brazed and a hole drilled through
one on top of the other , unsheathed .
and they fit through a slot in the air shroud .

sorry , the two hood bars are gone

Morning all, Where exactly in the dynastarter should the earth strap go to? The same point as for the existing small earth? memory , it bolts on with a 6 or 7 mm hex head bolt , but it also has a slot for a screwdriver . it is a threaded hole in the main body , with a slight machined recess around ...

i have only used multigrade .
never had a problem .

i would ad a small rare earth magnet .
also flush with kerosene , or diesel .
but preferably on jack stands and idle over to mix it up .
but after you install the magnet .

Gary .
i would leave it dry so it does not attract dust dirt and worn brake shoe material .
i might be right or wrong , just a comment and personal opinion

cheers
