@@eggybreadplease Exactly what we thought but we did them and they were the same as before - which is very frustrating 🤔😕

@@BlindManMorristhat’s annoying 🤔

@eggybreadplease Further investigation and longer test runs have been hampered by the extreme weather but hopefully we'll move forward in the next few days 🤞

I’ll follow this with interest… Good compression suggests a potential problem with valves 🤔 interesting…

@eggybreadplease it's a pretty new head, but it doesn't rule it out. Decisions to be made now on how we proceed . .

@@shaundorney5342 Thank you - only time will tell!

Hello 👋 so glad you enjoyed it 😊

Thank you, so glad it was useful 😊

@@raulgonzalez2305 Hello, those are 155 80 R14 tyres but the correct tyre size for a Morris Minor is 145 80 R14 as this is closest to the original size of 5.20 x 14 ☺️

@@BlindManMorris Best regards...thanks

@@BlindManMorris I buy morris minor 1962 in bad state. I trade repair. can best i can. thanks.

I buy tire 175/70/ r14...

@raulgonzalez2305 we have 185's on one of ours but it's a tight fit. We prefer the original size of 145 R14 as they seem to drive better. But of course it's always a personal choice 👍

@@mikerostock3229 That's a good idea 💡 Luminous maybe 🤔

@@simoncrest5354 Welcome to the Morris Minor world and thank you for your comment. So if you change the distributor you will need to redo the timing as this involves taking the clamp off. With electronic distributors, you can use static timing to set the initial timing but I know that then people tend to use a strobe to then fine tune the timing. I don't know if you have visited our website, but there's lots of other Morris Minor related information on there: blindmanmorris.com

And we would suggest getting a decent distributor - it's pretty vital to your Morris - spend to save ❤️

So glad you enjoyed it and found it useful 😊👍

Hello, thanks for your comment 😊 The simple answer is that if the timing is out either way the car will sound terrible. Some people make adjustments by ear and it is based on when it sounds like it is running at it's best. You do of course need to make sure that everything else is working OK 👍

Oh also, if you were doing this task on your own, a mirror is the way to go. The whole task is easier with two 😊👍

@@FMFGUF Yes quite right, the manual says 0.5" of lateral movement at the midpoint position of the belt between the crankshaft pulley wheel and the water pump pulley wheel.

@@shaundorney5342 Hello Shaun, thanks for your message and email. We haven't done a video on that yet. However is the ride height different from one side to the other or just at the rear? It might be worth looking at your rear springs if it is both sides.

@ thanks. Yes it seems to be both sides. I took it to a suspension place and they said they could look at the springs retensioning but I suspect it may be that torsion bar adjusting plate that has different holes in it that needs to be looked at as well. Love your channel- thanks very much

@shaundorney5342 How about measuring the distance between the rubber bump stop and trunnion on the front of both sides and see if it is the same? Then have a look at the distance between the bump stop and the body of the car and see if there is a difference at the rear. This should help identify where the issue is. That may indicate whether it needs adjustment at the front or work doing on the rear springs 👍

Thank you I’ll check that out

@@DaveLong64 Thank you, yes that was what it was intended for, to make side of the road points replacement quicker and easier. Shame they don't make them anymore! You can still get hold of them second hand luckily 😁

@@BlindManMorris I have now saved a search in Ebay .As despite being a bit of an old codger, I've never come across these before. Thank you for sharing and inspiring us all with your channel, its very much appreciated!

@@DaveLong64 Thanks so much, glad you are enjoying the videos 😊 the Remax tools do come up on a regular basis, so fingers crossed 🤞

@@DaveLong64 🤣🤣Like you, I've learnt from experience, particularly as I can't see the hubcap! So I put mine inside the wheel that I have taken off. It's a good point and easily done 😲🫣

@@cnat_sepll 😂😊👍well why not, always handy to have 👍

A useful tip for those (like me) who own cats.

@@andrewwhitehead2947 agreed

@@cnat_sepll We also have a Morris Minor with a square heater and it's definitely not as good. You can replace the heater matrix inside the heater, or clean it out and that may make some difference. We always say we're going to do that and then winter arrives and we haven't done it 😂

@BlindManMorris will have a go, thanks

@@cnat_sepll We'll put a video up about it 😊👍

@@BlindManMorris nice one, I'll check it out when it's released :)

@@cnat_sepll It's coming out this evening - hope it's useful. We will probably be renewing the heater matrix at some point next year. If and when we do, we'll film that being done 👍

@@adamstab1 Thanks for your comment - we definitely agree 👍💯

@@workinprogress1098 Oh interesting idea - we'll have a look 👍

@@workinprogress1098 thank you, hopefully they are useful - we also try to add new information on a regular basis, so there will be more printables coming!

@@workinprogress1098 Thank you - the difference was instant. It starts up beautifully and drives smoothly. It's also very reassuring to know that there's a decent distributor under the bonnet!

@@williamthomas5223 Thank you yes definitely 😁

@@JohnDyer-j7y John you're absolutely spot on. We should have let it go round again 👍

@@eggybreadplease Yes it's very ASMR as our teenager would say! It also shows that simple can be better - it's done the job for 53 years 😊
