This is an old subject, the anti seize. As I wrote a year or so ago, Champion, for one, has an anti seize compound on their plugs & no other compound should be used. Grease, I'm sure would be fine. C
With those miles, it is over due for a new cam & lifters. The cams rarely last beyond 75,000 miles before going flat. That is not to say the engine won't run, just not as well as it should. This doe
While there are no illustrations of an exhaust manifold gasket in the MGB GT V8 Workshop Manual Supplement, I can't believe that these engines were built (by the factory) without them. It is almost
As I said, My shop manual is silent regards gaskets. This manual is part # AKM 3616B copyright 1981. The parts manual is part # RTC9852CA dated January 1980. Since it shows the gasket as #GEG692, man
1964 Olds was not a 215 engine, bell housing was not the same. I have no idea if the clutch fork boot was the same, but would not necessarily make that assumption. Jim Stuart
Lots of us have been doing just that thing for years, stuffing the lot into a MGB. The only caveat is that the bell housing must be for a 4 speed or 3/4 speed combination bell housing from either a
What are you trying to accomplish? If you just want a short pump, but one for a Buick 300 V8, 1964-67. It mat need an adapter to use the Rover pulley, but other pulleys are available. Jim Stuart
I have always run FelPro, never a leak or problem. The Blue ones are the ones that do not have to be re-torqued. The older ones have the same number, are not blue, & MUST be re-torqued. I have gotte
I agree, the input shaft is best, but if you don't have one, plastic alignment tool is second. Failing that, a wood dowel wrapped in tape to achieve the correct diameter is faster than trying to mea
The spacer fits on the shaft, the T/O bearing fits on the shaft also, pushing against the spacer. The T/O bearing is internally threaded & has an internal threaded sleeve to provide final spacing wh
Your local experts are RPI Engineering somewhere in England. I suggest you contact them for cam recommendations. They have a fine web site as well. Jim Stuart
I have a complete set from a running 1980 Rover- as is, where is, but complete including the fuel filters for $250.00 plus shipping. I am in Maryland. Jim Stuart
The system I have is a Federal system. According to RPI Engineering & others, there are many mods possible to improve the performance from an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, to a new chip. In my
Not very familiar with the Webers, does yours have an accelerator pump? If not, that may be the reason. Those of us in the Colonies have easy access to 4 bbl carbs, Holley, Carter, Edelbrock, these h
They are interchangeable, but the timing marks are different, so you have to cut a new groove in the balancer, or put different marks on the cover. A real plus is that the V6 timing cover uses a neop
