Well, it has NEVER taken me 8 - 9 hours to remove pan, clean pan and strainer, and replace the oil pan on an MGA. The last time I did the pan removal job was to change a set of rod bearings. The whol

I have a 1963 MGB which is surplus to even my packrat-type needs and which must go SOON (says the wife), either to be rolled away as is (cheap!!!!) or to be parted out. At present it lacks engine/tra

Barney Gaylord has opened a can worms with the rumour of the existence of 3 MGA 1500 Deluxes. IMHO the rumour is bunk. The 1500 was well out of production by the time the Twinkie production died. Ext

My 2 cents worth on this thread are that, YES, an overdrive-ratio 5th gear (either 5th or OD) is a worthwhile conversion for two main reasons: (1) the wear & tear on the engine is less at the lower h

I can't help feeling that there has been a lot of bad news being spread about recently concerning the Jag XJ series cars and the V12 engine in particular. Personally, I will agree that the late '70s

Good luck. For this job, I have used a 1/2" drive socket set with a 6" and 12" extension (total 18" for when car is jacked up) and a 6-point deep socket. The ratchet I use has a 16" handle - great f

Actually, the 'hot tank' solution is a base (caustic) rather than an acid, at least at the shops I deal with. Dave Q.

The Buick/Rover (215 ci/3.5 l) aluminum engine is indeed a light engine - when I have to move the lump, I can (and do) carry the bare block (without crank or cam) with both heads attached around the

Keith Wheeler has noted that sub-$1000 Spit**s, Midgets, and Sprites are not uncommon. His example of a $200 rust-free, Weber-carburated Midget with a rebuilt engine may not be unusual in his area -

Scott McKorkle's Sunbeam + teenager story reminds me of a very similar incident with my TR3A when I was 20. The difference was that I was PUSHING the car down the driveway at my parents house when th

Many years ago, I built a trailer from a terminally rusty MGB roadster and have also seen one other example. I found that it was cute-looking but it sure wasn't the most efficient trailer as it didn

The best way to shift into first (or reverse) with a non-synchro MG or Healey box is to move the shifter (back) into second and then move to either first or reverse. Of course, all of this is also be

K&N filters seem to do a good job, are low restriction, and have a cool appearance. This brand of filter came as factory standard on my Taurus SHO (3 liter, 24-valve, DOHC V6) so should be fine on ou
