Bill:
That sounds about right and I have brand new motor mounts. Yes, the
oil pan on the TD is the first thing to scrape when you run out of clearance.
My TD's oil pan bears many scars. But the TD still has loads more clearance
than the MGA or MGB. My B's muffler gets scraped somewhere along the line on
every outing I go on. It's a chrome bumper B with Michelin XGT-4 P175/65R14
tires. These are really nice tires but about an inch too short. I could
really use that extra inch on the speed bumps!
