This is normal for that car. But you can fix it !!! By 1971 the carburetors had an overrun valve. This is a small spring loaded poppet valve which is part of the throttle plate. When you lift off the

I don't have any spares, but new nuts are about $1 each. All MGA and early MGB use the same nuts for the main bearing caps. The studs have a different part number (but I don't know why). The later MG

If the rocker arm is drilled, then use the drilled adjuster screws. If the rocker arms are not drilled, then all screws will serve as well, drilled or not. Given a choice, I'd use the drilled arms an

Use a new rubber boot. Old ones are often either stiff from heat cycling or rotted from oil exposure and age. If it is convenient (like if you have the clutch arm in your hand), it helps a lot to gri
