Morris Minor Owners Club

np, just comes from horse sense. oh definitely would swap it out while it's off. they're only about 25 quid. this sort of thing seems scary at first but it should be fine, just don't over torque or snap those threads. let us know how you get on!

yep, i used a dark blue silicon bypass hose replacement from ESM, oh if that bearing's gone, water will drip out of there, happened to mine. you can go so far just topping it up then eventually the whole thing will burst somewhere due to the pressure.

i would just make sure gasket surfaces are very straight, use a sharp scraper to clean the old gasketry off and maybe a very light sandpaper (800) and just use the gasket and a torque wrench. the gasket and the torque should do the work and should last years and years. i personally wouldn't use any ...

For some oil filters, you may find you need Weetabix AND Porridge.

Can I grease my roof rack??

didn't think there were any minors in cal. where how did you get it. I would say keep the hose, in case anything sticks its a fail safe. with no temp gauge as standard its needed. anyone know why they put a large rubber gasket on carbs on pit bikes. ?

I am used to the old filter now and judging by the threads in the block and their age will stick with it. ;)

so you can put a spin on filter without taking off the original block studs? me is confused.

yes that sounds mad. although I have mastered the old design now. just remember to use the middle width o ring or it will never seal.

judging by the looks of my old dizzy they last a pretty long time. i am looking forward to every change i make, can see what is happening that way!

just another update about the oil changes, really lovely and smooth, well worth doing the diff. everyone should grease up and do their oils, well worth it!

but bmc, you could tipp ex pen the old dizzy with dogleg to the edge and then you would know exactly where to put it if you needed it again? that's my point. sure the new one would need setting up the way you mentioned. :D or put a wooden coffee stirrer in plug one, when it's near the top, you shoul...

so basically, every sixty pounds of fuel, you're getting a free gallon. i will probably add one, you can always add a tipp ex mark to the distributor and the edge before you take the old one off.

what's the difference so far? better pickup miles per gallon, economy? did you plug it right in or did you adjust the timing wheel?

lol but where would we all be without him, holding our hands as we cut our first teeth on the Moggie? I just want to try elec ignition and see if there's any improvement in mpg and pickup. brief from not needing to touch the points. my advance and retard wheel is stuck solid too. milk keep the old d...

true. good advice. I will check it again and see if the drained oil was gritty. no bits of metal or gears. amazing little cars. going for electronic ignition soon.

breaker bar. popped the plugs open. drained the stuff. there was oil in there. it was dark and swirly. a bit gritty. didn't like squirting the new ep90 in. nipped up the plugs hand tight with a small ratchet. runs even quieter and smoother now.

it wasn't the thinner o ring for the fram filter. it is the middle size ring. when I nipped up the smaller size, it didn't matter how tight it went, oil came out on spinning the engine. I took it off and put the right o ring on. I took out the rotor arm and disconnected the coil output. span it up w...

number 24, and 25 on rod's diagram. steel polo mint style cup and o-ring sitting inside it, but what filter type is this? also, there is no spring evident in this little boxout, but obviously a spring and a filter plate is still required here? thank you. Hi Mike Does this help you? [frame][img]http:...

i lopped off the top of a lemon and screwed that on instead. started the car and got fizzy lemon juice on the floor! put a bowl underneath it, lemonade!!!
