Hello the heater control valve on my 64 is leaking around the shaft . Is there a fix for this ? I have not been able to find a replacement. Is there a alternate valve that will work? Herb

hello new owner here. the pan gasket on the engine is leaking. this is on a 1964 riv. will this be a bad job to try or should I have a garage do it? Thank you HERB

Larry I am driving a 1928 standard . the marvel has a cast bronze body. I am trying out a light mixture of transmission fluid in the fuel to see if this will help. Herb

Thank you for the information. I will try using a oil mix and see if this might help HERB

HI My 91 reatta would not shift out of low .I changed the tranny filter and put in new fluid. This fixed my problem.. Just something to consider. Herb

Thank you for the picture it answered my question. Herb

Good Morning. On my 91 reatta the AC hose on the passenger side is insulsted with a standard house foam pipe insulation. Is there a factory insulation for this or has someone put their own idea to work on this. the line comes from back by the fire wall and goes down the front of the engine about center. It goes quite close to the exhaust manifold. Also there is a short piece of black foam on the pipe by the shock tower. Herb

I bought my roof channel from bobs autmobilia in Ca. there are two differant types. one is for the sides and one for the front and back. I hope this helps. Herb

Does PA. by chance happen to use the engine numder for registration. Here in mich. the engine number is used on both my 28 and 31. I would check with the state. Herb in Mich.

larry What is the CLR mix that you used on your radiator? I am having some overheat problums on my 31 . Herb in Mich.

there should be a bress Y fitting at the back of the engine. one line goes to the pressure gauge the other to the filter, if no filter the line will go to the side of the the head to oil the rocker arms. Connect to the oil pressure side of the brass y fitting as this is a direct connection to the pump by way of a internal line. I would drop the pan and check the pump and lines from the pump . the pump has a brass bottom plate that could be worn on the inside. the pump gears should have a .001 clearance to this plate.If you wish to check this you will have to remove the pump[ two bolts] and Also check the spring to the pressure valve. I have also found the brass tube that takes the oil to the mains to have cracks in it. also have found the pickup screen pluged. Also check the gear that runs on the cam for wear. this is a few things that i have encountered. Herb in mi.
