Apollo tank anti-cavitation tank and dry sump?
Englishmaninwales replied to frankyknuckles's topic in TechTalk
Chelspeed - Anticavitation. You are absolutely correct. This term has bothered me for a while, as I thought it was being used incorrectly. I even asked an ex-submariner. And he knows a thing or two about cavitation and propellers! The Russians used to chase him because of cavitation. -
Martin Sounds like a good idea. In fact I could get you and Stu to fit it together and I'll supply the beer Edited by - Englishmaninwales on 15 Nov 2003 18:38:06

Phil, If the pain is UNDER the heel bone and painful to walk on it may be inflammation in the broad band of tissue that keeps the 'arch' of the foot in shape, where it joins the heel bone. Known as 'plantar fasciitis'. Best way to treat this is with a steroid injection in the tender spot. Alternatives are: 1. Do nothing, chance it may go on its own. 2. Ibuprofen or similar. If the pain is in the Achilles tendon where it joins the heel bone, and painful on moving the foot up and down, it may be an inflamed Achilles tendon and its sheath. Rest, physio and Ibuprofen may help. Look for any aggravating factors (other than driving your car) to stop. Malcolm

Bare, Peter and Captain Chaos. Thanks for the advice. Problem solved. New rotor arm, and now no misfire. Malcolm

Apologies if common question. 1994 1.4 supersport. Current plug =NGK BCP 7ES. Seems to be prone to fouling eg after long overrun downhill or in slow traffic. Probably 6k old. Gap is correct. New HT leads. I plan to try a plug replacement. Any recommendations? Thanks Malcolm

Almost certainly 3 rail box, although Plus 2 S 5 speed is a Lotus casting with Maxi internals. I have complete original workshop manual for Elan which includes overhaul of the 3 rail gearbox. Email me off line if you require copies. Malcolm

Removal of the ARB is greatly eased by removing the boot floor(drill out the rivets in the plywood portion and lift out, replace rivets with self tappers)and carefully tilt the honeycomb portion rearwards, after removing all the self tappers. Beware that the rear panel can be dented from the inside if the honeycomb is allowed to contact it . You will find this will give you much more space to thread the ARB out. There are two different sizes of ARB bushes , and are colour coded. The new ones will go on easily, as per Tony's advice, with washing up liquid. Malcolm
