the initial set up on the timing chain tensioner? I replaced with a MGB one .... is it just oil pressure that pushes it out?

Thanks guys i'll do some home work this weekend....I didn't remove the housing yet because I don't have parts lined up but it seems like she's stuck on the block good

also what is considered early and late?

hey guys thank you for the tip with the vice grips I squeezed two of the tabs and was able to get it all apart...got the rear cover off and cleaned and I got the deck all clean and ready I see that link for the water pump says '75+ is there a difference with my early '73 (12-72 build date)? just cam...

man you guys are crazy...let me get home tonight and try some things.....do I need that special tool to pull the water pump?

I had a saab buddy hook me up with valve shims so I have the head all built and ready....I had the pull the rear cover with all the gears to get the input shaft out, problem I'm having now is I can't get the throw out bearing sleeve-pressure plate-clutch stuff out of the way to gain access to the re...

so I got a new (used) pressure sensor and I'm getting the same readings... 2 outboard 7/15 read good at 90 ohms but the 2 inboard 8/10 read open ... does anyone else have one that they could test just to see if there is something wrong? I've looked at the downloads and it says I should be about 350 ...

I ordered a timing chain tensioner for an mgb this should work right?

I t...
