The valve has now been changed for the cable operated type. Thanks to all, especially bigginger for hosting the picture and willie for the "like for like" info. Will post the valve on eBay as it freed off ok with a WD soaking unless any of you guys want it.

Thanks, Is that the number on the plate on the bulkhead? I'm more used to minis which were supplied with many block, distributor, carb combinations over the years. Not sure whether the minors were as variable but i'd like to source the correct anilliaries for this engine. For example, are all the en...

Traveller engine identification

Hello all, Could anyone please help us identify the year of this engine: 10MAUH332918. The letters have been relatively easy to decipher, but not the numbers.
