My CRB needs replacing again. ☹️ I have now done over 30,000 miles, so I will replace the clutch at the same time. With this in mind, I will need to decide which clutch to use. My engine output is around 195BHP, therefore would it be a good idea to replace it with the Caterham uprated version, or will the standard clutch be ok? I look forward to the replies. Regards John

Hi all My Mitutoyo digimatic indicator battery has expired and I need it to re-time my cams. The instructions sate that I need an SR44 battery, but my my local shop only stocks LR44 batteries. They look the same to me. Is this a correct assumption 🤔 Thank you Regards John

Hi Steve I would get the Emerald mapped on a rolling road. I would also change the exhaust if you have the Caterham standard system. As Oily has suggested, the cams will need to timed to suit your set-up Regards John Regards

Over pressurizing of the system may be caused by a cylinder liner that has dropped below the recommended 4 thou, which is what happen to my K-Series. No obvious signs of head gasket failure, but because No 4 liner had dropped the action of the piston was forcing air into the cooling system, thus blowing coolant out at the top of the expansion tank.

I have just replaced my 74 deg stat for an 82 deg. I did not drill a hole in it because I wanted the engine to warm-up as quick as possible. I have a dry sump tank fitted in front of the engine. I also have throttle bodies fitted, which made it a pig of a job. I used red rubber lubricant to help ease the housing back on. I had to put the J hose on after fitting the housing, with the help of more red rubber lubricant. This job is quite a fiddle Raise the front of the car as high as possible before refilling and bleed the air out of the top of the radiator. Start the engine and keep squeezing the lower hoses to help remove the air. When the thermostat opens, it will release the trapped air, be very careful when bleeding this out of the radiator. Hope this helps. John
