I went with 3.5L nickies from LM when I rebuilt my 3.2L, with hindsight I would only go to 3.4L. The 3.5's need case and head machining and you can't go back. With the clutch release plain bush I drilled the shaft and fitted a lube nipple so I can keep it greased.
Thanks for your comment. Interesting that the 3.5 can't go back. I probably would have gone with the 3.5, but machine work at it was for me already started to get pretty expensive. And a creative way to deal with the needle bearing too. When I took mine apart I was not expecting the needles to exploded out all over the workbench and floor, lol. Did you do the whole rebuild yourself and how's the car running?
@@3.2Carrera yes I do all my own rebuilding and machining, I've twin plugged mine myself and built ITBs from two Triumph motorcycle bodies. I've now ditched the Bosch EMS as I have made so many mods. Mine is now running an Emerald fuel and sparks management "brain".
This is some serious detail. Thanks!
