Cylinder block drain tap

Post by owenmorris »

Hi, could somebody tell me where the cylinder block drain tap is on my 1961 Morris Minor 1000, as far as I know it is on the right hand side of the engine looking from the front, I have looked all over the engine but can,t see a tap anywhere.
Thanks, Bernard.

You may not have a drain tap but you will have a block drain facility which may be sealed instead by a drain plug.

It is located R/H rear of engine about halfway down the block.

Item No: 29 in the attached link................Pt No: 53K2853.

or halfway down R/H side of the sectioned block.
