Amazing, i would like to know the tools you used to measure the line bore? Please, also is there other way around like a telescopic gauge and then a micrometer?

loved this video

i used to own an ex works cooper s with an osselli 8 port head and 1340 cc, terrible under 2,500rpm and rev limit of 10,000, went like a train

Video wouldn't be the same without the music 👍

Brillant, now I know how to do it.

Best tutorial ever. Congratulations. Keep them coming!

Excellent tutorial! Keep up the good work

Really good & funny in a good way

Hello, I bought a used 1275 idk were he is come from, so I try my best to find some clues and you are the only one who using my gearbox the BSK7 DAM5626, what is the mining of « BSK7 » please help

I used to work for Mr clutch & remember changing the clutches on both Mini's & Mini Metro's. We would take the whole engine out as part of the clutch job as we would replace the bronze bushing on the reverse idle gear whilst the flywheel was being reground which in my opinion was completely unnecessary on 99% of vehicles that came into Mr Clutch. It was an up sale which my manager would always convince the customer to have done at an extra cost of £25. .

Love this, real time skill and knowledge. Let's see a series rebuild with the same format. Thank you

The problem from the gas kit?

Out of interest, why do you not use a Duplex timing chain ? and why not a centre main strap ? Also, did you use a special cam lube for the bearings or just engine oil ?

Thanks so much - I never knew what button to press for the heated windscreen.

If these are fully floating, would you not have been inclined to rebush the small end to eliminate any machining angle inaccuracies? I’d also like to have attempted to measure if the big end is honed square in the rod.

Thanks for the beautiful explanation

You could have given us a test run to see the difference in performance between old and new shocks.

Why do you split the Webbers? Shirley a single Webber with its two chokes would do the same without the complexity

Excellent tutorial in high detail.

Great explanation and thank you for the clarity. My series 2 failed its MOT on the railko bush so it’s a job now to be done. Nice work indeed and all the best!

PAUL Could you please show us one of your special motor mounts?

Paul Best disc brakes / wheel combinations for the classic Mini : 10" wheels with 7.5 discs. Some 10" wheels accept 7.9" discs?? or even 8.1 discs. Do you know which fit ?

Hi! Great video. My mini shifts worse when the engine is warm. I have noticed that it is a clutch problem, do you think it is a wear or adjustment problem. Thank you very much.

Hi Paul is it possible to convert from vertical to none vertical

Do you only have to do one side or both . If one side doesn’t it make the steering wheel look out of true.

Paul great video!! Which wheels fit the 7.9” diameter vented discs with KAD 4 pot calipers ? Hopping to use some 10” wheel!

Paul Can you bend the rods??

Just a thought on the faffy pin on the shaft. When the ring is of the shaft out the way, paint, or score a line up the shaft in line with the hole/pin so when its all going back together, you have a good idea of where the pin is sitting. Does that make sense? I'm not really a gearbox person, but I was looking to rebuild an F13 dog box and was looking for vids, but not a lot out there. Like your work though, a good insight as what to look for, thanks.

Comment. 👍

where did you get the longer ball joint to take the bracket

Pau Great video again!! In your experience: do 10” split rim wheels allows enough or more space for 7.9” front vented discs and KAD calipers ??

Very interesting, wonder if my MED cover is flat since I am leaking like crazy

Very well done. Pro! Perfectly explained.

I'm having terrible problems with brake judder in my mini. Been through 4 sets of discs and pads in no time. I've changed my calipers, flexi hoses, wheel bearings. I'm just wondering if the discs I'm buying from the usual mini suppliers are poor quality. Just seen brembo make them so might give them a go. Any other suggestions what might be causing my issue? I don't drive like a nutter by the way!

Back in the 1970s got involved with clubman style car powered by a 1310 cooper s motor. Held lap record around most circuits in Australia for about 5yrs after it was retired. Had head gasket issues which no one could cure & put down to very high compression. I did few experiments & finally fixed it by countersinking the head stud holes in the block. Have noticed some manufacturers stop the threads about 5 to 8 mm down from the block face, which I'm guessing achieves the same thing. For the past 55yrs I have countersunk all threaded holes in everything & deleted gaskets in favour of loctite. Solved many oil leaks. Some of us old farts have learnt a thing or two. 😂

My first car was a Clubman with a 1100 ccm motor. I had 100+ rims on it (10x6") ? and a small steering wheel. At some point one of the valves burned,and I had the possibilty to exchange the whole motor with a motor from a Austin Allegro 1100...so I did and it fitted perfect..but the gearbox from the Allegro was for 13" wheels,so there was not big topspeed,but lots of revs and acceleration...didn´t need to downshift for overtaking :D :D

Fantastic video, just a question about the locking tab on the centre bolt ? Are you able to lock it with the pressure plate on ?

I must say I'm getting very upset that no videos have been uploaded lately. With a mini nearly ready for its engine to be build. I have your videos on repeat. Come back Paul 😅

Approximately how much would one have to budget to get a car in this condition back to being in tip top shape?

Great video, thanks

What do you think is the the highest 1098cc MPG A-Series (Morris Minor). possible?

Followed lots of rally’s around Ireland in a mates GT in the early 80’s. Great car!

Is the regular cooling affected by the fan being so close to the radiator? I just purchased a mini with the fan inside the wheel arch, i think your mounting spot is better for electric cooling, but I'm worried about impeding air flow when the fan is not activated. Thanks!

Only just found you on this engine build series. You had me at episode 2 and then we got to split carbs! Ooooo. It's a boy thing.

Very interesting and well done video. Have owned a 998cc Cooper and two 1275cc 'S' types (one I bored +0.020" to 1293cc). On one of those cars, it had oil pressure at idle but as the engine was revved up, the pressure went down! In the end I stripped the engine down and found that the bolts holding the oil pump in place were only finger tight, from the factory. As the engine was revved, the pump started sucking air. I did this out on the street with the engine in situ. The biggest problem was breaking the flywheel from the crankshaft taper. I did everything shown in the video (made my own heavy duty puller) and the flywheel only broke free when I added a bit of heat and then hit it with a hammer with the puller fully tightened. It came free with quite a bang. Loved my Mini's though, and still do😃

If you install adjustable suspension is a must to use 4 scales, one for each wheel, to make a perfect tuning. You can check each corner height but you need a perfect distribution of corner weight.

Cool
