Morris Minor Owners Club

Well.. bought a new pump thru a Dutch supplier who sells stuff from Moss. It looks much better than the Powertune.

This is where I found it:

Thanks!

Found the name and number:
BAFFLE, FLOAT BOWL LID FOR HS2 CARBS
AUC1215[frame][/frame]

The small hole on top of the float chamber should have a cover, right?[frame][/frame]
Can someone send me a picture, so I can try to make it?

Thanks

Also - watch out which way round the duplex chain is fitted. If it has a 'joining link' (which suggests a rather sub standard chain anyway...) then the clip must be fitted on the outside to minimise any risk of it catching. Edit = that rather looks like a joining link at 1 o'clock on the cam sprock...

Much neater, but where does the 'elephants trunk' go on you car?

Hi Panky, mine just follows the shortest way without any brackets...
Should it have brackets, like yours? [frame][/frame]

Happy new year to you all here! And a good health for you, your family and your Minor(s).
Thanks for all the support last year, good to know you all will be there in 2015 also.

Thanks Phil, I have a classic Mini garage nearby. Try with them first.

Ian, Yes, I used 20W50. I bought a cheap brand (don't remember). Now will continue with Castrol. Have 2 cans ready for first run-in and first oil change after that.

Fitting the front plate and the chain I noticed the countersunk screw is really close to the (duplex) chain. I cannot remember it was that way when i took it apart. [frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php?src=1419888033_22272 [/frame]. It can turn freely, but if i push the chain to the plate it can t...

Making it bigger would show more clearly it is a lousy photoshop job.

The work is progressing...[frame][/frame]

Did not carefully read the manual, so I dropped the distributor drive shaft...

I bought a Smith temp gauge with sensor, according to the seller for a Mini. I expected the sensor would fit, but the thread is different. The sensor is from Lucas. Is it located somewhere else on the Mini? I assume making an adaptor will bring the sensor further away from the main water flow, so th...

OK, thanks for the help.

Seen several solutions here. For the 1098 engine, is this the right location for a temp sensor?

The better studs to use are the ones with either the 'P' or dimple on their top end. BTW someone mad a nice mixture: the large studs: 3 with a dimple, one without. :-? The small ones are all without. I assume I do not have to replace as long as I use the standard nuts and keep the torque within the...

Hi Phil, thanks for the data. Assembling the crankshaft and con rods, the manual advises to use plenty of oil on the bearings. Keeping the threaded holes clean is impossible :(. You mentioned the Minor engine data are related to 'dry' assembly. Should I correct (reduce) the torques of the bolts for ...

I have read different opinions about the grease on bolt or nuts and the right torque. With the high torques I guess there is no grease anymore on the surface that is in contact with the other part. And the frictional resistance of a 'clean' surface can vary a lot. Applying a torque in such a case is...

Reassembling my engine again, any advise on:
- Grease of studs, bolts, nuts
- Paper gaskets for waterpump, thermostat housing
- O-ring, paper gaskets oil filter housing, oil pump
- Paper gasket, cork sealing for sump

Thanks
