Morris Minor Owners Club

Must be very special to deserve a RED carpet It's only been nominated, no awards yet. Over the years, I have done engine jobs, Top ends, and replacing shell bearings with the engine in situ. This is the first time I have done a complete engine, its good to know I have a wealth of experience and goo...

cannot find any cord rings, there isn't a lip at the top of bore anyway, so I have ordered ordinary rings from ESM.

What's the chance of a water pump, which has stood dry for a number of years still being ok?

Thanks Andrew, like your blog.

I have used the burning method on oil filled air cleaners in the past

what exactly is inside the trap, and what is it for?

I have got a feeling this is an old chestnut, but what are the thoughts of you guys on the breather arrangements for the 1098cc engine I am reconditioning. At present there is a pipe and a cannister attached coming from the front tappet chest cover. I take it the canister is some sort of trap. There...

that's what I'll do thanks

The bolts on the 1098cc engine I have dismantled don't have tabs to lock them in.They appear to have a tapered seat. The engine is a silverseal replacement unit if that means anything to anyone place.[img][img]http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/SRF_photo/DSC01020-1.jpg[/img] can they be reused...

as I said in a previous post, I am reading previous posts in the mechanical section. I have found one recommending changing a 948cc camshaft for a 1098cc one. I am taking my engine out, when its a bit warmer, and I have a spare camshaft. I was thinking of changing the oil pump. is it worth changing ...

Oh bu@@er, the 12g202 isn't unleaded, I know I am flogging a dead horse, but how much power loss will the cam 4810 cause, I am only a fair weather driver, the furthest I will go will be to the National Rally in Leicester, I am just fed up of faffing about with additives. I am considering marrying a ...

Right Matt, whilst I am on a roll (in rubbish) I have another head a 12G 202 is this one any good?

that's a shame Matt, its unleaded, and I got it cheap, is there anything I can do to imrove the porting.

Yes it has that type of valve stem oil seal.

Thanks MT any problems fitting it to my 948cc minor, the valves are the same size.

Can anyone tell me please what the casting numbers CAM 4810 on a cylinder head purporting to fit a 948cc engine means. It has the later solid rockers. It has a 9 hole stud pattern, heater take off and temperature sensor orifice. It also has the by pass hose spigot. What engine will it be from.

Can anyone help with the info please. What parts do I need to fit to the engine of a 948cc to fit a gearbox from a 1098cc.
