A few questions from a learner, can you explain what the following things are and what how they improve your car. Stage 2 head HS2s (type of su carbie?) RE13 Cam (I know what the cam is - please explain the RE13) LCB - Extractors?? RC40 - Exhaust?? I hear these terms on ausmini all the time but have never asked for more details. I have begun the rebuild of my 1100 block and would like to know details of these things, considering they are what you term - "the usuall trimmings" Please help me out with any advice on the rebuild. Already going to be 20thou oversized with a standard crank. Andy. |

RE13 cam is a Graham Russel special grind. The RE is for Russel Engineering. RC40 is the rear muffler (and resonator ona twin box). I think RC40 is simply the part number. Wendy, your new van looks like Barney (colour wise)
Nice score. I want a van too

HS2s (type of su carbie?) one and half inch RE13 Cam (I know what the cam is - please explain the RE13).....Graeme Russells most popular road cam??? LCB - Extractors??..long centre branch....supposed to be the most efficient way to extract exhaust gases RC40 - Exhaust??...a classic and popular exhaust system for Mini |

What colour(s) are you thinking of painting it Kev? My van is currently Rover Pendellican White (as used on Jags and SD1s in late 70s) but it's going in for a respray after Christmas before I fit the new 1360 project engine and I'm trying to decide on a colour - maybe a creamier white this time. I like vans to be understated and all one colour, rather than a different coloured roof (sedans the opposite - loud colours contrasting roof). I'm entrusting it to Evolution Crash Repairs at Blair Athol. They did a complete respray of my wife's Rover Quintet a couple of years ago in two pack and it was a top job for $3k all up which included fixing a few rusty bits. It still looks like new. |
