They will never be engineers as long as i have a hole in my and

I once had a rotor arm fail, you could see the electrical tracking line across the bakelite as it went to earth

Jowett Javelin, Hi,I can post a photo later to-day.

I still have a considerable amount of this left that I use on my sidevalve engined Morris cars it seems to be as good as the unleaded petrol additives, never had any valve trouble although I also give the exh't v/v increased clearance like bmc ecosse

My 1935 morris 8 is negative earth and its still going without any problems. I can remember my father going on about electron transfer and spark plug wear.

Hi Chris, yes I've still got some snail brand double ended ones and 1 single ender for the lathe cross slide.

I had a 1300 engine and one way to increase the final drive ratio is fit 205X14 rears on wide wheels, keeps the revs down and the tread just fits inside the wheel arches.

Easy start isn't a good idea, if it doesn't start it washes off all the oil from around the bores and you end up with a siezed engine if you leave it for any legnth of time. Is it turning fast enough?

I agree with Mike, head gasket sounds like the culprit, its unlikely two valves would stick open at the same time. Good luck.

You can buy an additive from lawnmower shops you can put in the petrol tank that keeps it in good nick and stops it going off and losing its volatility so I am told.

Hi, my black tourer has a mottled browny pink coloured one.

Plenty of depleted uranium in the desert sands no doubt

Jane, most likely the prop shaft , Ujoints or balance. Try to borrow someones propshaft and try it. good luck.

Yes, both mine have had RC40's on they last about 6 years. Lay the full system out on the garage floor, then and you will see that as the exhaust on a mini is in the centre of the car move it over to the left turn the rear silencer ove and you have to cut off the inlet to it to get it to join up and...

Hi, I have a 1098 with a piper 270 cam and it runs well with the bigger HIF38 carb like BMC says. It doesn't come onto the cam until about 2750 rpm but it revs well. This type of cam runs better in the 1275 eng.
Cheers.

Hi, its quite easy to make a wooden test stand with a couple of old engine mounts to bolt the engine to, a lot safer as well. Best to put the starter and dynamo on with fan belt plus silencer. I had one for years but eventually it got adapted for other jobs and ended up as firewood. just put a hose ...

My Pickup has no chassis plate on nearside engine floor as it has been renewed at sometime, but the No. on the top of the nearside scuttle bulkhead on a small plate is 221993. The car No. on the morris motors plate obviously has been restamped on to a new plate and reads MAUS not MAU5/162835. its re...

I have seen this car around for a while and eventually met the owner.It is reg No SBT284N

Blue Morris Minor Traveller. Plate on passenger side eng.bulk'd reads 1239243 Code No 11405659

Vehicle No 34 FH 30.Cont No. WV7666MM09.

Just had a look and tickled up the high spots after 23 miles and they are bedding in ok. I had a look at the rears that came from the same supplier 2 years ago and they have 180mm max wear cast into the face, 7.086 ins. They not half produce a heap of black muck these new type linings. My morris 8 i...
