Hi, Alex. Sorry to bomb the list, couldn't Email you directly for some reason.
I learned to drive in 1968 in a 1954 Morris Minor with a sidevalve engine. One
time I had to pull the head and I measured the bore and stroke and calculated
the displacement at 912cc's, give or take. The MG dealer said "912? Ain't no
such animal, should be 948cc." and he either could not or would not order parts
for it (it needed a con rod). I finally junked the thing, but I've always
wondered why he said that. Does your book say anything about a flathead engine
of around 912cc?
