Re: Opening up a 202 head
I have to agree with Les. If you want improvement - source a 12G295 head, skim 0.060" from the head face and you have a very good and efficient head without having to do much work. The down side of the 12G295 head is the price. :-( Saying that here is a 12G295 head going cheap (at the moment) h...

Re: Clutch Master cylinder used with Toyota 5 speed box
I believe that the Toyota 5 speed conversion done by the Morris Minor Centre for use in a Morris Minor used the clutch release mechanical linkage. The hydraulic clutch release system was used on the MG Midget/Sprite conversion. For example - you can use a clutch master cylinder fitted to the cross m...

Re: Rear brake shoes
Having just checked the various greases and lubricant I have (at least 10) non of them have a use by or sell by date.
So long as the grease is in a sealed container it will not deteriorate.
I would agree with the argument for regular quality control/testing of lubricants used in the aircraft industry.

Re: Cylinder head refurb
Only the exhaust valve seats need to be changed. That is the old exhaust valve seats cut out and new hardened valve seats pressed into place. The original valves both inlet and exhaust can be refaced. There is no need to replace any valves unless the valve seats are damaged. The valve guides could b...

Re: Rear brake shoes
Correct - the rear wheel bearings are lubricated by the oil in the rear axle. There is a trend to use sealed bearings for the rear hub of a Minor. The sealed bearing is in some ways better than the open seal as crud/metal particles in the axle oil cannot get into the bearing and cause problems. Depe...

Re: Relocating rear spring hangers
The wheel is not necessary in the centre of the wheel arch. As the spring flattens & especially over time the axle moves rearwards and that is why there is a sliding joint to the rear of the gearbox.

Re: Relocating rear spring hangers
Before you do anything I take it that you have measured the distances/location in line with the BMC drawing. ride height 4.jpg Unless you are experiencing handling problems it seems a lot of work to move the spring hangers 25mm. That 25mm should not cause any problems. The only visible difference wi...

Re: Engine Breather Mod
I would suggest that one stainless steel pan scrub is enough. The crankcase fumes need to have easy passage through the pan scrub. Too much pan scrub could restrict the flow of fumes and then you are back to as if the breather was blocked. The pan scrub is there to catch the oil carried in the fumes...
