Morris Minor Owners Club

Thanks,

I had read the thread but wasnt sure if declan had them as spares or a short term supply and selling them on, or if he was selling them all the time ... as this thread was a couple of months old

Thanks ill pm him

Sorry to hijack the post. Does anybody know if the oil filter sold by esm as an 803 filter needs the reducer?
and who supplies them?

Thanks guys

I have tried varying lengths of lever, and even my longest lever I cannot move it enough to get the bolts out

Hi I am trying to remove my master cylinder, having read the technical notes on here and several threads. I see that you are meant to be able to lever the torsion bar out of the way. However i have tried and failed to do this. How are people levering it? And against where My other question is as I c...

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone had information as to my cars previous owners? As the most recent owner gave the original log book to the DVLA. My car is a 1955 sandy beige morris series II, Registration mark LRX 798, he is an 803cc The only other previous information I have is that he was fo...

Great

thanks

also,

can anyone tell me whether the big end bolts are made of high tensile steel or if not what they were made of?
and what size these bolts are?

hey all,

what is the torque value for big end bearings? and the main bearings?

My engine is an 803cc

many thanks

Hi, Im going to be removing my engine soon, so i thought i would repiant it at the same time. The only thing is the engine does not appear to be mowog green. Its a lighter blue-er shade nearer to the almond green car paint then anything else i can think of. Does anybody know what colour this is? I a...

BTW - 120 compression is desperately low....... I thought this too, however i have done a bit of research on the net looking at compressions i am aiming for, for my engine. andf at a compression ratio of 7.2:1, the psi comes out at about 106 so 120 wasnt as bad as we thought... could this be the ca...

Ah- that would be why i couldnt find them then!

Thanks. I know they are different, and much more expensive for the 803

Brilliant!!

Thanks for the quick reply

Hi,
I have removed my big end or con rod bearings form my 803.
I cannot find any size markings on them, I can only find a code number G2314M and what looks like an overlapped PV in a circle.
Can anyone tell me what size these ones are? Just to give me a baseline

thanks

Okay. Thanks for all your help

Do you know where you can get your hands on an 803 crank? Also, can i not just take multiple measurememts of the journels tn decide the bearing size and to determine how worn the crank really is Also, should i look further, as its only one set thats gone- the same piston had the worst compression be...

None of the bearings have a size printed on them.

The one that crumble did so as it was paper thin, it was me that crumbled it.

Im not sure about the oil, as the crank and the bearings both had oil on them and between them.
And my crank is neither pitted or marked.

i cant upgrade. I want to keep it original!! My oil light is not on, and there is plenty of oil in the sump. I check the gasket, no blowing occuring there. Took the sump off etc. one of my bearing literally crumbled as i removed it. the others seem okay though i will replace the whole set. How do i ...

mike thanks... from your description sadly it does sound like the con rod big end bearings have gone. O dear... how easyand or time consuming are these to do??

thanks for the fast replies

I am aware 120 is low but it is a huge improvement on what it was.

It didnt start straight away. I run the car for maybe 100 miles then it started.
The clearences are all fine, checked and double checked.
I replaced all the gaskets when i replaced the head

how can i tell it's that??

and also, by big end do you mean the con rod bearings?

thank you
