Morris Minor Owners Club

The M/C cap on the M/M has a nut shape in the centre ( if my memory is correct ? ) . The nu top has to be filed - not the whole cap. Use PFTE tape to seal the tapped thread and if needed anywhere else where leaks appear !! Try ESMotors or Bulmoif for a cap . You need an engineer to tap the thread or...

I found an old Morris Minor M/Cylinder cap tapped the correct rhread in the top -after fileing the top of tha cap flat .
Connected up , put the pressure in from the spare wheel ( After filling E/Bleed container ! )
Worked like a dream. I used the silicon brake fluid .
Hope this helps ??

It sounds as if Pyoor-_Kaye's advice paid off . I will remember that method in future !! Whilst out on the Brecon Beacons today , I was speaking to a guy who works in tha aluminium industry . Apparently , steel / metal + aluminium causes an electrolysis between the two dis-similar metals/elements ....

Yup !! I ran a drill through the holes and used copper grease as suggested . FORGOT TO MENTION THAT THE HOUSING HAD A GOOD BLAST FROM THE hEAT sPANNER -- , SO APART FROM TOILET CLEANER --- I TRIED IT ALL !! bUT , THANKS EVERYONE ( Sorry forgot that caps lock was on -- not going to re-type !!! :lol:...

PHEW I GOT IT OFF !!!! It took an overnight drench in PlusGas + Duck Oil -- then more fluid . A wood chisel , as suggested , --- much blow and bothering -- and grunting !!! After about 2-3 hours it finally freed !! The hardest housing removal which I can ever remember doing !!!****!( Mini / A40 / A...

Has anyone any suggestions on how to free the thermostat housing , which has stuck onto the cylinder head ? The 3 bolts + washers have been removed; copious doses of freeing fluid ; much thumping --- nothing doing !!! I will leave the housing drenched in freeing fluid over night . Perhaps the heat s...

The car I was thinking of using it on is a 1098 , so it won't be any use to me . Thanks for the info bmcecosse Arfron

Thanks for thar Chrisd87 Arfron

Is the cylinder head on the 850cc engine , the same as the Morris 1000 cylinder head ???

I assume that the extra ccs are on the bore capacity ??

Arfron

Ok guys point taken. Cheers Arfron

Thanks for the repllies Kevin + and bmcecosse . Strangely enough the fitting came out fairly easily -- Plus gas + a few grunt using a vice !!

On reflection though --a new pump seems sensible especially if I can get one for £1.99. It must be cheaper in Ecosse ??

Regards Arfron

Does anyone know if the pipe fitting which screws into the water pump ,is the same thread /size which fits into the block ? ( By-pass hose screw - in fittings ) I can see the ' block ' threaded connector on the ESM site , but I need one to fit into the pump , ' cos ' mine is somewhat rotted , but pu...
