Just got done pulling the engine and trans as one unit from my 74 MG Midget. When I pulled the engine, I noticed a small hole at the base of the clutch bell housing. There apprears to be a cotter pin

Making such a hole with pin just is an indication, that the primary design lacks selfconfidence for making leak free engine - gearbox setups. My BGT currently does not leak anything now: Oil levels a

The explanation I have heard is that is to control oil leakage! I think it keeps the hole clear so the oil can leak on your new driveway rather than accumulate in the bell housing. Larry Hoy

Ah yes, a recurring question... Let me take this one... The hole is to let the oil and rain water, whatever gets into the bell housing, out. The rather large cotter pin is there loosely, to prevent a

That thingie has always puzzled me, too. My interpretation is that it is a drain hole (leave it to the Brits to assume that oil would need to be drained from the bell housing!), and that the cotter p
