Morris Minor Owners Club

Hi everyone

Been doing a rebuild on my 948 engine and wanted to try and find an alloy rocker cover with the breather, although can’t seem to find one anywhere! The only ones I can see don’t have the breather, any ideas ?

Thanks , just found it

Hi everyone

Does anyone know where I can get a thermostat housing for the 948 engine which has a tapped hole for a temperature sender ? Would prefer to try and find one than going down the bottom hose mod

where is this being advertised? could do with some parts for my series 2 and im near hayle

Hi everyone I am now a proud owner of a 54 Morris series 2, with the 803cc engine. Broke down on the way home from driving it! found the coil to be VERY hot, since then replaced the coil and condenser, new leads etc..... Starting first time now, however the new coil is quite hot, not boiling but you...

No probs there I even removed the gauge to see if that was the problem, the light still remains on for longer than it should. It's very odd indeed

Hi everyone I have recently fitted new conrod bearings and pistons/rings. Before I did this the oil pressure was taking some time when warm to build up, from cold it was okay. Since rebuilding it's the same, however i get around 55Psi cold and 30 when warm at idle and 45-50 on a run in top gear. Whe...

rings were worn, bores were surprisingly in good nick, a hone and it was nice and smooth. Measured ring gaps in cylinders and all were within tolerance

All back together now and running once again!

which year did the mini's have these fitted? probably safe if I say 1990 onwards?

Can I fit ones that's meant for a mini or metro? easier to get hold of locally than having to wait for the ones from esm

Very little wear to guides, all new valves ground in, so would it be worth buying some? only concerned with the o ring's as they are quite delicate

Hi everyone Getting close to finishing my moggie bottom end rebuild, at the same time I have cleaned out the cylinder head and put in new valves, I see on ESM spares there are some spring type (looks like a cup?!) oil seals, should I be using these instead as the O-rings don't look like they will la...

I have now honed out the bores ready for the pistons to go back in, what method of cleaning does anyone recommend for cleaning the bores after honing?

Does it smell worse when in heavy traffic?

Clutch operating okay?

hmmm perhaps I am measuring it wrong

60mm on each bore, I am guessing this is standard for a 1098?

Well it was hardly easy for me to tell what had happened at the time unfortunately

There is no scoring or damage that I can see to the block or head.

Okay I have the following on the pistons

M2007

M25 one says M26

3 with a v underneath it (same on the face of the block) and MOWOG
