Re: Torque settings 1275 engine
thank you Phil .All those are useful.As previously advised will be looking for oil leaks so anything on the engine that may leak.The only other I can think of is the inspection covers if you were able to get it please.

Re: Torque settings 1275 engine
If you mean the tappet/cam follower covers - there are no tappet/cam follower covers on a 1275cc 'A' Series. The N/S of the block is solid therefore no covers. To remove the tappets/cam followers you have to remove the camshaft.

Re: Torque settings 1275 engine
The question above was in relation to the 1275cc Marina/Ital engine - but to clarify - the 1275cc classic Cooper S block does have cam follower access openings with covers.

Re: Torque settings 1275 engine
Only if the head studs have a point, a dimple or a 'Y' on their top the torque setting is 50lbf ft.
