Reinhart,
It shouldn=C2=B4t be a problem. When you already reached last undersize on =
the=20
crankshaft, there are still complete 948cc engines available as they were=
=20
used in Morris Minors as well. Best to have a look at Beaulieu autojumble=
=20
(just this weekend or the big one in September) or the Morris Minor Owners=
=20
Club in England. There is also a baby Auustin Club in the UK to ask. Or you=
=20
can ask at www.spridgets.net <http://www.spridgets.net> .
For a rebuild I can recommend Limora, as  there is a very good engine=20
rebuilder, knowing these engines very well.

The Austin A35 from my stepdaughter is powered by a BMC a-series engine,=20
which is the same as in Sprites and Midgets. During a classic car event the=
=20
engine started to get noisy. So we shut it off and had it transported to=20
the workshop of a friend of mine.

=20

Still before the engine was opened he meant that it sounded as one of the=
=20
bearings on the crankshaft might have failed. And he told me that for the=
=20
948 cc engine new crankshafts are not available.

=20

Is that true? If not, where can I get one?

=20

Thank you in advance,

Reinhart
