Hello everyone! I am in a bind with my Type III, I hope I am able to find some help/information here. I am not on the list, so email directly to me please. Okay, on to my problem.... The intake (inner) valve on number 3 cylinder has been streching alot, I am basically at the end of the adjustment range. All of the other valves are great, checked every 3Kmiles but never need adjustment. I rebuilt the engine about 12K miles ago and had the heads redone/revalved as well. My wife is using the car in a temporary situation 300 miles from home. Last time she was home she said the car ran poorly on the way home (very low power). I adjusted the valves and she said it did much better on her way back, 300 miles from home. Now it is running like it did on her way home the first time, but much worse, cant get it to go more than 20MPH. Questions: Any idea why this valve would strech so much, did the rebuilder do something wrong? I have a spare set of heads, pn 040-101-375-2 (big #64 and 61 on the other one) will these work on a Type III? Also I went with the slightly bigger pistons (86mm/1776 CC) and need the bigger injectors to go along with them, anyone have a good used set for sale? TIA, I have to get that car running for her, she really needs it running well now more than ever. Christopher kipuka@tcd.net
