Morris Minor Owners Club

One more thing, do I absolutely need to remove the prop before I can take the engine and gearbox out in unison?

Thanks folks . Is this in the spanner sizes thread? I swear I couldn't find it.

Does anybody know the size of the bolts? Ta luke.

Wouldn't supprise me if you could use it to de-rust, might experiment with some cyrup, that kurust stuff costs an arm and a leg cosidering what it is.

Isn't that stuff just phosphoric acid?

How strange! Was it roughly in the same area you sold it in? That would have spun me out.

Ah awesome OK.

No heat then? The engine was sitting with a bit of water in that cylinder, the block is going off to the engine builder tomorrow for assessing, we'll see what he says.

That looks lovely, post some pics up of it when it's wearing it's sign.

Hiya, the piston rings on piston no4 of the 1300 are stuck. I've just taken it out and put it in a bath of parafin to soak. They seem really stuck what's the best way to loosen them?

That looks lovely, the car runs of on a space frame chassis I imagine?

Nice, got any of vids of it in action?

A local engineering company that specialises in Land rovers. What size torx nut do I need to remove the con rod bolts on a 1275?

Hiya, I sent the carb off for a rebuild in the end. The gaskets arrived today, so we shall see. If this dosn't work I'll just take it as an omen to put the 1300 in.

Everything noted, I'll look at what you all suggested tomorrow. With the mayo I was pretty convinced that it was weeping because I am cleaning the rocker cover out every week and going for long drives 45 mins+. My oil must be contaminated some how? I'll change it again. I checked the HT leads when t...

Home engeneering is most definatly sweet! Loved the build thread of the other minor. When can we expect one for this?

In the past weeks my idle has become very bad again, the symptoms are it idles very poorly sounds like it's running on 3 cylinders, then 4 and then 3 again. This is accompanied by mayo building up in the rocker cover and when pulling up to a junction and dipping the clutch abruptly it will cut out. ...
