Don't know exactly about the MGB engine, but I have serviced several
Mercedes diesel cars and these all had stickers glued near the oil filler
hole reading that overfilling above the max level can cause severe engine
damage.
I had some little oil over max and this resulted in some oil burning in the
engine and some leakage on the floor.
Hope it is not too bad.
Good luck.
Cheers,

My compression test came out all the same 115 across the board (give or take
a few) I did find how ever that my brother used my B after I had given it an
oil change. He was on a drive when the oil pressure gauge stoped reading
(its electric) so he pulled over to the side of the road and added the 1L
container I keep in the back. Needless to say the engine has been running
with 1L over the recomended level for about two weeks (around the time this
all begain) is it possible that there was too much oil in and that is the
reason for the fouled plugs??
