New Car

Post by Tweedy »

Hi Everyone
You might think my question is silly, but as well as my moggy I have just bought a 1972 Wolseley 1300 mk2 And I just wondered if the cylinder head gaskets for the morris minor will fit the wolseley they seem to be the right size,
Thanks to all
Bob

i think they are different, the 1098 moggy bore is 64.58 mm the 1300 wolsely bore is 70.6 so probably will not fit

Well done! Nice car. If both engines are 1275cc -then YES -same gasket. If the Minor is not 1275 -then NO !! Different head gasket -same manifold gasket though!
