Morris Minor Owners Club

Just read the article in the latest minor matters in 'technical matters' re. hard engine mounts. My vibration is still there so I'll be interested to see if Rob comes up with the answer.

Tried it with fan blade removed - still have vibration, but suspecting these new hard rubber engine mounts. Will give them time to settle.

Thanks everyone for the help.

Thanks mogbob. One blade got trapped against the top of the radiator grill. I have removed the fan blade and straightened it. When on the car it rotates freely with no rough spots. When running it seems to be running pretty true but I don't know how much it has to be out of true to cause vibration. ...

Just been a decent run and it seems to be a little better. Maybe the rubbers need bedding in? Had a thought last night about the fan blade. It got a little bent when fitting the engine and although I straightened it, perhaps it's a bit out of shape. Could this be the problem?

Thanks for the help

Thanks for the quick response. Engine was fine previous. Will have a look into bell housing as you suggest, but I was pretty careful when installing on the bench. I notice the new rubber engine mounts were pretty hard. All parts from ESM.

Many thanks

Hello everyone. Hubby has just finished installing recon. gearbox and new clutch. Everything ok except for a vibration. This happens even when stationary and revs are increased. To give an idea of revs it starts at 35mph in top and gets worse as speed increases. New engine and gearbox mount rubbers...
