Morris Minor Owners Club

Hello everyone! I've got questions that concerns me. Last year I built a new engine for my Minor. I bought an old engine (without flywheel & backplate) in the netherlands and rebuilt it. After I finished the work, I took all the parts like flywheel, pulley, exhaust, carburettor etc. from my oily...

ok ... thanks - then I will change it tomorrow!

But I've connected the engine breather hose to the base of the air filter

Hi :D There's a little brass tube at my carb I do not know for what it is? (In the middle of the photo) what is connected here at this tube? Can anyone help?

hi guys,

today at 6 pm came the exciting moment: first attempt and first start. and on the first beat he started and ran smoothly like clockwork. I'm so happy! Thanks to all for the help! [frame][/frame]

uuupsss and thanks!

Thanks!

quick question: valves on 0,035mm? is it the right with a completely new engine?

:D Hi there just a little upgrade - first some pictures from the cylinder head of my old lady [frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1458654219_23393 [/frame] [frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1458654235_23393 [/frame] [frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1458654258_23393 [/frame]...

ok - thanks

But it does not fit on the axis of the crankshaft. too small inner diameter of the sheet metal part. the oil thrower is in place (see foto)

Thank you :lol: but it´s not the secure lock 12A398 No: 4[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1458211687_23393 [/frame] this ring is more shaped like a bowl - I enlarged the photo cutout - [frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1458212073_23393 [/frame] OK the felt seal I will not use. Yes...

I like the steel wheel with hubcap optics - if the rim is then painted in body color yet ... but that's my taste.
But at the price I agree with you!

They look pretty nice i like these standart look. Whith the hubcaps on it will look more

Thanks for the pictures

Cheers Dirk

Hi Guys, a quick question: Where should sit this metal ring - I do not know. With the timing chain there was a ring and even with the secure set :o I hope I do not have to unscrew everything again! New piston rings arrived yesterday - all pistons now in place without damage, all screws are tightened...

engine out! tomorrow I will start dismantling
Cheers and nice sunday

thanks - I will do! And be very carefully

No look back - allways forwards. A set new piston rings is on its way to germany. # Dismantling of "Miss Marple" - tomorrow a buddy will come and put the motor lifter with and will help me. Today I dismantled everything and all screws and cables removed - ready for the next step to lift ou...

Just preparing everything for tomorrow then I get the compressor. Tomorrow in the afternoon I planed to to get out the worn engine, get of the parts I need for the rebuild ... that WAS the plan

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: Disaster!!!!!!! I have a broken piston ring and do not know how it happened ?! Whether I have the piston touched too hard when fitting to the con rod ... or somehow gave him a blow. I dont know, but it is horrible. :cry: Now I need a cigarette and two...
