Hey all,
Good news first, took second place in the 100-4 and 100-6 class for Healey's at yesterday's British Car Days at Charleston, SC. Lost to a BN2 !!!! We had 126 LBC's show up for our clubs's 26th BCC days so great event on a beautiful day down here in the Low Country. Club is British Car Club of Charleston.
Now maybe bad news- I believe I have managed to finally figure
out where I am getting a whining noise - other than me about something not going my way - that really manifests itself under power as opposed to coasting at speed. As a friend of mine explained, when you are just coasting at speed and still in gear of course, your drivetrain is not under as much strain as when you are accelerating or under power at speed. Seems to make sense to me and is exactly how the whining noise appears. We think it is one of the bearings on the pinion as not coming from the axles or wheel bearings. IS this possibly normal or should I be concerned ? I very routinely check the rear end oil to make sure it is not something stupid like that. I replaced the front pinion bearing oil seal a few months but did not replace that bearing or the rear one. Both were replaced when rear end assembly was rebuilt. Any thoughts or advice ?
Thanks,
Mike
