I have a 1500 Long block in Westchester you can use. It's from a '75 Spitfire and hasn't run in about 10 years. But it may need nothing to get it to run. Typical story, ran great when parked. You go

Thanks Mike. I may take you up on that. I need to do some checking and see if I can determine that it IS bearing. The engine is NOT rattling like a bearing was gone tho. I'll let you know. Larry At t

Hi Larry, It takes about 45 minutes to drain the oil, remove the sump and undo the bearing caps to inspect the shells, which are the most likely bits to shed metal into the oil. You may be lucky and

Ok, now I am really confused. I drove the Midget home from the train station and immediately ran in and got a magnet. I pulled the dipstick and it is clean - no metal, no nothing, just oil a bit low.

A DPO confession, caught in the act! ...for your next trick, a 302 ford in a 63 E-type? The 1275 can get you to work and back, but you may fall asleep at the wheel. -- Trevor Boicey, P. Eng. Ottawa,

Speaking of "here we go again", here we go again with the A-series devotees comparing built up 1275s with stock 1500s. While were making useless comparisons, I think your 1275 would be BEHIND my 69 e
