Morris Minor Owners Club

at work have used the Thread wizard for just this problem. he's mobile so can come to you & put an insert in
I'll get his phone no next time I'm at work

as there's not a lot left to check, can the pump flow enough fuel and to pressure it may be ticking but not pumping.
also how good is the petrol ? contaminated, old etc

yep rubbish

I use polyurethane bushes or n.o.s parts where possible & have refitted the 30+ year old trunnion seals back on as they were in better nick than the replacements which had ether swollen or split. Will also be needing to do my screen rubber again soon as well.

The Iveco's I've had experience with all had shoe handbrakes (they were part of a fleet so were mostly the same model) on caliper handbrake types of vehicles Ive found it easier with some stubborn calipers to remove them & mount it in a vice so you can get some weight behind it (even with a prop...

If you go on the QH website you can look up clutches etc & gives the part No's for the individual bits with cross referencing to OE & competitor No's . Handy to arm yourself with some numbers as some staff at motor factors haven't got a clue if the computer says no A piece of std coolant hos...

The 266 is not to dissimilar from the MG Metro cam just has a little more lift & I think slightly longer duration

If you already have a head that's needing work you could have the throats cut & blended in for larger valves at the same time

sounds like the engine has a modified 1098 already fitted the marina ones are larger. for the clutch use a 1098 cover & a centre plate for a 1.6 sierra/cortina (5 speed type) . I have used this in the past & worked fine but now use the complete sierra clutch which will require the dowels to ...

Its on the milder end of the choice if performance cams so is quite tractable low down & idles smoothly. other factors that will affect this will also depend on what you do to the head. Whatever your budget or how far you want to go maybe worth concentrating on that first I got the cam from mini...

not quite but nothing to radical. still std bore but with a Kent 266 cam, have worked the ports/ chambers etc in the head & fueling through a hif44 /maniflow exhaust system

I would personally go for the 1275 as 70- 80 bhp is not difficult to achieve & will still be road friendly whereas to get the same power from the smaller engine will make it a lot more peaky my 1275 was measured about 90 bhp on a RR session, has a good spread of power & really wakes up over ...

as you clearly don't believe me that the shaft has more than one load on it here are some links http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=eL6TBaSnd78C&lpg=PA422&ots=h9-5ZMUKGC&dq=three%20quarter%20floating%20axle&pg=PA421#v=onepage&q&f=false http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=U4TBoJ...

yes just a standard single row ball bearing & wont resist all the forces from the wheel upon it alone which is where the shaft comes in to support the hub with the diff effectively forming the inner race. The only axle type that the shaft has only one job to do (transmitting drive) is the fully ...

how is a single row bearing alone going to resist all the forces upon it if not for the shaft
