After 15 years of good service my '66 MGBs began to show slightly diminished oil pressure. I decided it was time for a rebuild. I stripped the block sent it to a well reputed machine shop to have all

I had the same problem when I rebuilt my engine. In my haste, I chose the wrong oil pump->block gasket (apparently the 3-main one) from the gasket kit. This caused the pump to fail to seal against th

The pump should prime itself if it's in decent condition. However, if the oli has drained out of the cooler, it might take a while for the pressure to come up. Before going too much further, I would

I rebuilt several MGA and MGB engines over the years. One time I could not figure out why no oil pressure. I even borrowed an oil priming device from my machine shop. Nothing would give me oil pressu

Graham - Since B's had two or three different oil pump configurations over the years, there are 2 or 3 oil pump gaskets that come in the gasket set. If you put in the wrong one, it would block the o

Hi Graham, Drop the pan and check to see that you installed the correct gasket between the block and pump. Many gasket sets come with more than one gasket for that application. It's easy to put in on
