Nice easy job using basic tools make sure to tighten the housing up evenly and for the little amount they cost i would get a spare gasket I learned the hard way that tightening the housing unevenly ended braking it and over tightening the bolts lead to a broken gasket nothing worst than waiting anot...

Thanks for the reply i did think about doing this but my concern was the system being under pressure for long periods of time. My car was only un used for 3 months between working fine and being stuck

Hi everyone, Have a reoccurring nightmare with my car that needs a long term solution was wondering if anyone has had experience with this and can off any advice.

Hi guys
Completely dropped the ball on sending my form in on time. Will i be able to just show up on saturday and get in? Will i need to bring a form with me?
Really looking forward to this my first ralley after 14years of ownership! Cant wait to see what i have been missing

Thanks for replying. Car runs the same with the hose clamped. Piston goes up and down fine and dash pot has right oil in it. I pulled the plugs and they are completely black as is the exhaust pipe so obviously very rich. Tried to adjust the mixture but has only made the car worse. Now the car no lon...

Have converted my car over to the marina engine and running gear have fitted a marina pedal box and I am using the marina brake servo.... Had a bad air leak from the servo so was advised to replace it although the car was drivable only issue was lost power at about 50mph which I put down at least pa...

Well my plan is to remove the box and have the wires running up under the dash to clean up the engine bay I've got the marina peddle box in my car which makes space for the contact box etc limited. also the box is damaged so if I can get rid of it the better.

Iv now got an alternator on my car and was wondering if that means I can do away with the contact box and how I would go about doing it. Does anyone have any diagrams for this job?

Oh ok then guess il give the high lift rockers a miss. I think the engine builds gonna be big valve head, fast road cam better flowing manifold and a webber carb. That should give me a bit more poke I hope.

It never stops amazing me the ability of some of the people on this forum! Great build!!

Excellent as far as the Cam shaft in concerned would I need new higher lifting rocker ATMs or will I be able to get away with the standard ones? Had a read through a mini magazine and they had these for sale thought obviously serve some purpose....

And I don't have the bypass hose on my engine

Hi I'm sure this questions been asked before but I just want to double check. 1 I have a 1275 from a marina would a modified head for a 1275 mini bolt straight on? 2 same sort of question with a fast road cam. Can I get a mini cam and fit it in my marina engine? 3 I have marina axle and disks so my ...
