Did you ever find out? have similar issue: seal way to tight for the shaft to turn (shaft diameter is 0.2 mm larger than the seal)

Used a digital angle finder (they have a magnetic base, so easy to attach; measure absolute and relative angles)

SOLVED: Finally solved the grinding noise issue: - The delta between the diff side propshaft operating angle and axle operating angle was approx 2.5 degrees. One of the rules regarding propshaft angle is : Operating Angle 1 vs Operating Angle 2: within 1 degree I solved this by adding a wedge...

Changed the rear diff, unfortunately that did nit solve the grinding issue. Clip with axle, spring / axle view U-bolts are tightened. Not sure how I can check the bushes but will post some pic Thanks!

Thanks, appreciate your support! I also noticed the "roll" of the diff. I re-tightened the U-bolts before I made the clip, so will check the suspension bushes.

Thanks! Clip with view on the sliding joint below. Do not know the brand (shaft was on the car when I bought it). A propshaft repair company in The Netehrlands did the propshaft overhaul few weeks ago (balanced, new UJ's, align etc)

approx 0,5-1 inch of margin

Thanks for your suggestions! Some answers: - Springs: Rocky Mountain Parabolic Springs: o front: 73588: Two Leaf; o rear: 73590: Three Leaf - Engine and TB mounts: all new - Pinion Angle: o TB-propshaft: 14,6 degrees o Propsaft-Diff: 11,7 degrees - These look like big angles to me, but...

I replaced the UJ’s and had the propshafts rebalanced. Took the gear and transfer box out (main shaft brass distance bush was broken), double checked all end floats and other green bible specs. Took the rear differential apart, replaced shims (did not change total thickness): end float of ring...

Thanks Blackburn! I believe you are right, I tried to tighten the fixing nut 85ft/lb (on the pinion shaft) but it was completely stuck. Had to take the complete diff out to get it loose. I noticed that several of the shims (under the bearing) were so worn there were even holes in them and some...

Thanks for the input! I did some check on the Propshafts/TC Intermediate shaft Front Propshaft: No radial play No axial play on the UJ spiders Shafts was 1 dent off-set (phasing) ==> I realigned (assuming no phasing off-set on LR Series) Breather hole was stuck building pressure in the...

When releasing the gas pedal (deceleration) I get an grinding noise (believe its is the diff/drivetrain, but still not certain). Not when coasting, not when accelerating only first phase when releasing gas pedal. Happens in all gears. Made a video that clearly illustrates the noise. Noise...

Hi Simon, the dwell angle is the angle that the dizzy cam moves with the points closed. So in a 4 cylinder engine the dizzy cam has 4 lobs, the angle between the centre of the lobs is 90 degrees. The period with the points closed (in my case) is 56 degrees: so 56 degrees closed and 34 degrees...

Found the issue this morning: the throttle valve did not completely open (so indeed the carb-side!),I reset the pedal/linkage and car runs perfect now. Did not test max speed but 50 mph was no issue. Thank you all for your help! Very much appreciated!

Thank you all for your input! Changed Timing: started with 6 degrees static, advanced timing for as long as rpm increased w/no-knocking: this indeed improved performance, 3rd gear is better, 4th is still weak. Topspeed is also a little higher but still below 45 mph. Checked binding: all wheels...

Hi All, My name is Simon and I live in the Netherlands. A year ago I started the resto of my series IIA, Petrol, 2.3 SWB. Good progress (see pics) but the car lacks power. Max speed is only 40 mph (needs almost a mile to get there. I did a complete overhaul of the engine and gearbox. Cylinder...
