Morris Minor Owners Club

See below my version of a tuned small block 948cc 'A' Series:- This ran in my Minor for several years until superseded by a 1400cc unit. Fully modified 12G295 head. Cooper 997cc camshaft. Powermax 998cc flat top pistons. Cooper con rods. Cooper duplex. Damper crankshaft pulley. Cooper S distributer....

The threads are 3/8" UNF.
Why do you want to change the tie rods from Minor to Marina?

The MiniMania article is interesting. I agree with the comment that the 12G202 head only needs a good clean up of the inlet and exhaust tracts to get better efficiency. The stage head fitted to the Mini Cooper? I have never come across one or having being aware of one being fitted ex factory other t...

My mower fitted with a Honda OHC engine started 2nd pull after standing all winter in the shed. The carb is fitted with a choke which helps. Most Honda engines fitted to lawn mowers have a float chamber drain facility or the ability to easily remove the float chamber to drain. After a summer of mowi...

Thanks for the clarification.
The angle of the classic Mini Cooper S HS 2 carb is slightly different to that of the MG Midget so I would suggest that the angle of the carbs is clarified as the float chamber fuel level could be effected

The side seals must overlap the sump neoprene gaskets and they must abut hard against the main bearing caps.
That is why the side gaskets must be fitted first.
That neoprene seal looks to be too long.

The problem with the neoprene seals is that they are near solid and cannot compress like the cork seal. The neoprene seals only appear to be available for the 1275cc engine and that has a larger radius rear sump opening so requiring a longer seal (Pt No: TAM1089) and different sump. The front seal f...

As regards the neoprene sump end seals - they may need to be trimmed in length to suit.

The ring seal is for the alternative after market piston fitted to some slave cylinders.

If your slave cylinder does not have the ring seal ditch the ring seal.

I suspect that you have put the above as an example but I notice that the head in the above photo is not a 202 item and you have removed the manifold locating rings which are there to line up the manifolds and so aid gas flow.

If the Cooper S exhaust manifold is a ex factory pressed steel item and is intended to be fitted a Minor it will hit the chassis leg. I suspect that any aftermarket Classic Mini LCB exhaust manifold will do the same. The throw out of the bottom of the manifold is there to clear the Mini gearbox ther...

The web site is still very very slow.

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...

If it wont fit get a bigger hammer

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...

Damper valve assy sent off 9:00 am this morning first class post.

Having a hydraulic clutch on my minor and the slave cylinder being the same as a classic Mini I recognised the slave cylinder from what is visible in the above photo.

Which side do you require?
