The most problems I have found with CEV and Lucas is bad contacts
and
connections. I had the fuse panel in the headlight melt on my
wife's Ambo
because of a bad connection the wire made in the socket. As far as
the
switches go, I wired in relays for the spot lights and running
lights on my
74 LAPD. I have not had any problems since.

RE CEV/Lucas. You Bet ! and a little judicous use of copper or
nickel
antisieze will fix that as well. BTW I agree with the Lucas part too
!
Lucas Electronic ignitions of the late 70s (Automotive) were
probably as
bad as the Kawasaki CDIs of that vintage,but the rest is better than
the
vicious rumors would have most believe.

 Is there a torque spec for the oil pan bolts?

I haven't seen a spec for those fasteners, but aren't they 6 mm?
For
 6mm screws and nuts, I think the default is 0.8-1.2 kgm (4.5-8
ft/lbs),
 but you should double check this to verify.

I was going to be a wiseass and say do what you did and then go
back 1/4
 
turn but I won't.

A few days ago I innocently asked about CEV electrical stuff.
Curiously
 
I have a '72 MGB and so I also deal with the Lucas "Prince of
Darkness"
 electronics. Fact is I haven't really had any problems to speak
of with
 
the electrical system of the MGB that weren't directly related to
shoddy
 
work done by the DPO.

My theory (actually this was passed on to me by a friend) is that
Lucas
 electronics, and now I would say CEV, too, are just fine _as long
as
 they don't get wet._

My guess is that the numbers of failures y'all have experienced
are
 directly related to where you live and how you ride, i.e., wetness
brings out the worst in both the Lucas and CEV connections.
