Morris Minor Owners Club

Nice response

It’s a stone chip then I’ll be painting on top with enamel paint synthetic

Hi everyone I have a 2005 Mitsubishi Colt czt 1.5 turbo, I have just got a bigger car so instead of selling it thought I’d test the water by trying to swap for a morris minor, it has mot till March From memory as haven’t used it in while 98000, I’ve done rear wheel bearings, cambelt, services, front...

Hi everyone
Does enamel coach paint react when applied on top of black body underseal?

Thats fantastic work. Never thought about mgtf seats only issue i have is the welding so need something that is bolts in. I expect to drill holes and cut

Hi everyone
Thinking of changing my non standard front seats for something a little more stable and safe. What modern headrest seats do people fit thats easy? Ive heard of ford ka, possible rover 45?

Thanks for the reply ive heard about the 3 turns, but not sure for the hif38, need to get it somewhere rough so i can drive it 20 miles to a garage for fine tuning on dyno

Hi everyone Just got my rebuild engine running has 1275 head, fitted a hif 38 carb, its runs a bit rough and doesnt pull under load, i have set ignition timing with proper light, so its down to carb now. Is there a basic setting to start from like turn mixture screw in all the way, back it out so ma...

All sorted now, turns out to be just a faulty pressure sensor

Its the orange light on the right of the speedo. If i disconnect oil pressure switch it goes out with just ignition on

Awsome, now i know my oil pressure is good. The light on the dash glows on, dims down slighty after start up. There was a wire on the oil filter housing ive now changed for spin on type so the wire goes to nothing, is this the problem or faulty oil pressure switch

Is it a good reading for when hot?

Hi everyone
I have just fully build a 1098 morris engine with 1275 head, having no oil gauge i bought one in temperary placement of the oil pressure switch just to check when i start it. Its between 45 and 50 psi at idle when upto temperature. Is this a good reading?
Thanks

Ive had my 948cc smooth case gearbox with 1098cc internals fitted. Bit of machine work involved apparently. Made it a much stronger overall box

im pretty convinced that ive got it right. crank 12 oclock and cam 1,2 oclock. its the standard 1098 chain with the rubber rings to tension.
Also would putting a mini dampened crank pulley make any differance? Whats the benefits

So the crank key is at 12 o clock and the cam key about 1-2 o clock

Cant unload pic can someone send picture of chain alignment while No1 on tdc

Hi everyone
Building my first morris engine
Just want to check timing chain before fitting rest
No1 is on tdc
Does this look correct

Whats the measurements for standard size, No1 is pitted badly no numbers showing on crown. Think ill have to order new standard pistons, hopefully get away with just glaze busting bores if they measure correct

No1 doesnt look good
