Hi Chris, Since we are covering a number of topics, I will try to insert my comments into your text. Should be A-OK, but definitely isn't. Valve seats won't affect this crankcase pressurisation. Shou

Try having a friend turn the engine on its starter as you watch the movement of the rockers. One might be different, indicating something amiss with pushrod, lifter or lobe of the camshaft. Bob On W

Hi Aubrey, Large dogs and MGBs go well together. Large dogs in MGBs ensure that nobody else goes off with your car; keys may be left in ignition with impunity. Dogs are still dogs, pursuit animals at

One supposes that, in a 40 year old master cylinder, there could be a weak spot. In all likelihood, though, it's one of the rubber seals/cups that has failed. Why they demonstrate inconsistent leaks

Which model brake cylinder are you working with? Inner workings differ. You can get started with disassembly by removing the spring clip just inside the bore at the piston end. Some then have a plast

Me too. It seems to take a couple of thousand miles before new shoes stop wearing fast. The car stops OK but the handbrake lever travel gets excessive, so it's time to adjust again. I use a 1/4 inch

There isn't a problem when the head is skimmed just a thou or two to get it flat. What does warrant investigation though is the thickness of the head, since the head might have been skimmed before,

I've had the MC in and out so many times that it's no longer a temperature or temper-raising event. Most threads are so worn that the bolts and nuts finger-tighten almost to the end of the threads.
