Has anyone had a Minor fitted with an OSELLI c/head?

No but I have an Oselli inlet manifold, are you thinking of fitting one of their heads to a 1098cc or ?

If you are worried that it may need different clearances contact Oselli to see what they say.

Oselli are one of the original tuning companies from the early 60`s for the `A` series cars originally for mini`s and spridgets and eventually all cars with the `A` series engine, who along with Janspeed are the only survivors from this era, other such companies were Alexander,Downtown & Speedwell, I have just checked the link and its fine for me.

Oh, the link works, but their site quite definately doesn't work in Mozilla.
I knew of Janspeed, but not of Oselli.... now I might have to go look with my windows box.
...okay, looked. Those heads look yummy. Meh.

Works fine with firefox 0.92 on WinXP with Flash 7.0.19 ... maybe is the flash intro which was chimping?
PS: Nice site Kate ... had a look last night, very clean ... I'm guessing you make sites for a living?

Hrm, doesn't work in Moz on Linux.
maybe is the flash intro which was chimping?
nah, it's the Javascript . Not that I'm very hot on Javascript, but it ain't right, I suspect it's reliant on a "undocumented feature"; I expect if I upgrade to a newer version of Moz it'll probably work though.

Um, no, although I did partially once (was part of my job description) and I used to be very into site design. That one took me *ages* to get just the way I wanted it, and I have to thank my ex for making one very small suggestion which made the site look *way* better; people are going to have to wait until I've got the database working for any new pages....
As for me, I'm actually a student nurse now.

Oselli are a company I have used for engine work.
I always thought tappet clearances were dependant on cam design.

I'd say you were right John. I had an Allegro once for which I bought an engine from a breaker, after a rebuild I had a Crypton tune and because of the particular camshaft fitted, I was advised to set the valve clearance to 15 thou as opposed to the normal 12. To this day I'm not sure what car that engine was originally fitted to. I think it was an MG variant.
