Morris Minor Owners Club

So ive taken pistons out of the block
Are these standard. As the numbers mean nothing to me

can i check by measuring the valve when its fully seated. between surface of valve to surface of head? then it should be roughly 300-320 thou for it to clear?
thats with head off the car on workbench

thanks
whats the best cam to fit with that head?
also can i sink the valves myself or machine shop job
ive been reading that a 1275 copper head gasket is required would that add more clearance over the fibre one on mine?
would sinking just the exhaust valves by 40thou be enough to clear the block?

as im building it myself would i have to get it balanced?
whats the benefit with crank pulley?

As im rebuilding the bottom end as its worn is there any worth while mods that wont break the bank to compliment the head?

Okay thanks
Just taken valves out feel sloppy in the guides. Looks like carbon build up has been cracking of on valves hitting compared to others. Does the head look like its unleaded?

Yeah i am lucky. Ive never done anything to the engine but gasket looks new so might reuse it?
Thought id investigate the mentallic noise and found that. Also going rebuild the bottom end as alot of endfloat in crank

Hi everyone
I have taken off my cylinder head and it looks to be a 1275 on a 1098 block
Issue i have is looks like valves have been hitting the block. Can anyone shed some light on what i should do

Hi everyone

Thanks

Just had a can of gr26 dove grey mixed and its a perfect match

thanks
so the can i have is 34gr rover dover grey not gr26 ill get the proper one mixed and take it from there

does anyone have the original paint code for 1967 dove grey so i can compare

its just my luck that the glove box lids have been painted red :lol: thats why i need a colour match haha in person it is a bright grey, not like a dirty grey. it wouldnt bother me if it wasnt the original shade. but it matches beneath the light green colour it was once painted. so grey to green bac...

Thanks for the reply heres a proper picture. Few flakey bits around the car beneath is a greenish grey. The beneath that looks like the original paint which matches the colour it is now.

Does anyone know what colour my newly bought minor is its a 1967
Ive had a can of dove grey mixed but its shades off so am a bit stuck.
Heres a pic of the the differance

i think its just the picture but will compare. rocker cover has no vent tube. think ill have to use the original rocker cover for that mesh cap to fit and just block the breather off

Awsome thanks. i have found these in the shed oil cap has a pin hole in it. What do you think

So here is a pic of the carb on it

thanks been a great help. does anyone happen to have a block breather extension for sale?

ah okay so ill try and find a extension to the chest breather. thats a good question firedrake, i was told its off a metro. the cylinder head doesnt look like a 1098 to me but might be wrong?
