If they are not stainless steel then the metal must be something very similar. I have just checked four spare manifolds; a couple from Atlantics but you will know that they are the same. All are ori

Just one comment. Did you check that the sump gasket had holes in it where these should line up with those in the block. In particular the one just outboard of the oil strainer return pipe. There we

Let me wade in here but before I do you need to know that I have a BN1 Le Mans that has almost everything that was available from the Donald Healey Motor Company very early on. My provenance is esti

I am about to say something with a cheeky smile on my face. One could say that that only the early BN1s with the spiral bevel, 4 stud rear axle were true Austin-Healeys. After that BMC major units r

You wouldn't dare say that Longbridge built badge engineered MGs to a long serving Austin apprentice. In fact this is quite untrue. I worked at BMC Service for a while and the rivalry between Austin

Anybody interested in this needs to check with the seller the ratio. If 33/8 (4.125:1) then not very rare and virtually the same as an early BN1 However if 33/9 (3.667:1) then rare and valuable and d

I am sorry to have to say this but this is not an original A-H 100, A70 or A90 Atlantic head. The give away is that it has the three stud thermostat housing of a later 2.2 or 2.5 litre engine. It qui

You are correct in what you say. 'Clutchtools' do not advertise the correct tool for a BN1. As a matter of interest I looked up the official BMC Service Tool Catalogue and I believe that there are e

I should have added that I had the same problem in the past so my extensions have a long thread with a lock nut as did Ron. The only problem then is to tighten the lock nut. Fortunately I had a very

I agree that only UNF grease nipples were used on 100s except perhaps the odd very early one. As I said in my previous email 1" long versions are too short because the side cheeks of the mounting as
