Pressing in new camshaft seals cost me only $25 at a shop, which included
removing the old ones.

Hi, I have been "hanging out" on the MGs list for the last 3 months and
wondering why there was so little Spridget stuff on there. Now I find that
you are all lurking just up the street on another list !!
I need advice on a 1275 engine rebuild.
1) Camshaft bearings are shot. Workshop manual lists an expensive
sounding job of replacing them using a special tool and reamer. I have
also been told that you just press out the old liners and press in new with
engineering adhesive to stop them spinning - no reaming required. Anyone
done that job ?
2) Block needs a rebore, + 10 thou should be sufficient. Current pistons
look good to use again. Can this be done using oversize rings in standard
pistons or will I have to buy new +10 oversize pistons ?
Can anyone give advice ?
