Morris Minor Owners Club

I understand what your saying phil. I think I am being a little harsh on this. I can turn the camshaft by hand.

When taking the camshaft out with the old bearings in the block, that had more resistance.

Not according to a couple of other owners who gave me the piston method.

surely it cant be beginners luck? camshaft bearings were purchased from ESM. the camshaft fits nicely. if I put a spanner on the chain wheel end, I can turn the camshaft easily when its fitted in the block. very slight resistance (as you would expect). to wind the bushes in, I used a pair of mg midg...

yes I agree Les. I have 948 internals in my 803 box and a 4.2 diff.

covered on another thread, I have a HIF 38 carb with a marina manifold and custom built 40mm exhaust.

I'm looking forward to fitting all this at the end of the summer.

sorry I didn't make it clear. ive decided to fit a 1098 now with other uogrades. the 948 is still in the car. today I fitted new camshaft bearings to the 1098. this is a simple job. I used 2 old brake pistons. I drilled a hole in the middle of both of them and tapped one of them M12. a long M12 bolt...

There is no spacer ring between the Marina/Ital exhaust & manifold. It is installed exactly the same way as the Morris Minor 1000 with the two piece clamp and two bolts/nuts and washers. The part No: of the Marina/Ital manifold to exhaust pipe clamp is Pt No: GEX7284. Here is a link to a correc...

I am now have the exhaust. one remaining question, would there be a spacer ring/gasket between the exhaust and manifold that the clamp goes around? the clamp I have is a fraction too big. (couple of MM). I could fill this with paste but am unsure.

after some in depth research, ive now decided on what I am doing. (its a shame my wife doesn't know after 16 years of marriage what she's doing still). I have the HIF 38 carb and a marina manifold now. I am going to use the combined inlet/exhaust manifold, not an after market water cooled inlet mani...

this happened on a dual carriageway in my A30 at 60mph. it frightened the life out of me. I had to lip home at 20mph (not hard in an A30). last September I replaced all the rear suspension and hopefully that should out live me now.

ive managed to get hold of a NOS manifold 12G 3538. think its from a rover metro? ive also got a HIF38 carb now as well. on the manifold, it has a 2" flange with 36mm internal bore. now I think the standard flange is 1.75". so I would like to know if anyone has fitted this manifold and how...

one of the 1st upgrades I did 20 years ago was to fit the spin on filter. much better and when I bought 100 spin on filters for £100 a few years ago, I never needed to buy another in my lifetime. I have sold a few to mates, but still have enough.

been with RH since 2008 I think. never paid over £60. ive also never claimed, so cannot comment.

£59 with RH. includes European brakedown recovery.

you dont need to do anything. when my mot ran out in 2013, I never bothered to test it again. why pay when I don't have to. when it required tax, I did it online. the status said MOT EXEMPT without me having to do anything. I also didn't need to tell the insurance either. when I called to renew, I m...

ive removed the camshaft bearings from the engine I'm building and am going to fit new ones.

do they need to be reamed? if so, how?

anyone ever flown with Norwegian air to America?

I'm looking at flights to the states this autumn and have found this company doing premium flights for around £1000 return which is premium. they state its the same as business class.

spotted an A35 pickup. cant say there are many around.

I did think this and looked in the vizard book and didn't see it listed. I know it was unleaded as well.

cheers as always Phil.

does the CAM4810 head fit the 1098 engine?
