Well done, a major milestone ticked off. I have Minisport roller rockers on my engine and an original MG Metro ribbed alloy cover. Everything clears fine. I also used the MS silicone gasket which us reusable and works well. 👍
High Keith, Definitely done the right thing with matching numbers on the original engine. I did same on my MGB some years ago. Excellent job by the way. Cheers Nic
Lovely lovely! Great to see her up and running again. Hopefully in a few months I will doing the same. I’m 4 years in just got mine back from paint after being in a family friend’s body shop for 10 months awaiting paint. On the fun part now reassembly
Well done in getting the engine finally running! I had the same issue with the rocker cover and got round it by using engineers blue on the inside of the cover and a Dremel to remove the excess metal. A bit time consuming but you get there in the end.
Great to see the engine back in, you can’t beat twin carbs on a mini ! Maybe you can get someone to machine out the inside of the mg rocker cover. Would be nice to have the original style cover back in 👍
It was only in the last video comments that we said there’s always an ever growing list of extra parts required for a classic Mini. The spend just goes on. But they’re worth it. Nice to hear it run. Look forward to seeing it out.
Awesome job mate! Really buzzing for you, couple little jobs then perfection 👌🏻 might still have an original metro rocker cover if you’re looking but Paul said you’d ordered something already 👀 haha fantastic mate such a beautiful car
Was the two tone engine like that originally? The blue & yellow? If not it looks beautiful. Sounds nice as well. Paul has done an excellent job with in 👍.
Reviving the original engine was a bit of a labour of love. What do you think, was it worth it to have a matching numbers car?
The only numbers i can see are 1-3-4-2 or is it 4-2-1-3. I prefer suck-squeeze-BANG-blow 🤣
Yes without any doubt.
Yes, always 😊 Happy to see another video, too😀 Great work, Keith👍
Looks stunning Keith
Keith - well done - 91 episodes and the engine sounds great...we are all waiting for the first test drive video. Excellent
Proud moment Keith hearing it running what a journey very pleased for you great video

Congratulations on getting it running again, Keith. Nice to see another Mini back on the road!
That engine with those twin carbs looks absolutely superb 🤩 and I want a garage the size of yours !
They sound amazing too!

If i can't be first, didn't finish work till 7pm, i'll be first in the pinned comments🤣🤣
@ it’s the taking part that counts, surely.
@@recreativesigns4571 Sure is my friend, sure is.
Great Work, Keith. I believe MED recommend one of their own Rocker covers to match their Rockers .. Pain really if your going for the original look
Thanks, I've bought an MED rocker cover for now
Well done Keith, give yourself a pat on the back mate
Thanks Phil
Awesome job mate! Really buzzing for you, couple little jobs then perfection 👌🏻 might still have an original metro rocker cover if you’re looking but Paul said you’d ordered something already 👀 haha fantastic mate such a beautiful car
Thanks mate
You could try two rocker cover gaskets glued together to give more height
Great job
Hi Keith, if you wanted to keep a standard look maybe get a space plate made up for the rocker cover?🤔 Andy
That' not a bad idea, the cover needs to come up a few mm and back a few mm. A spacer plate would work!

Yes, the John Cooper conversion heads were blue.
@@classicminiworkshop it definitely looks good 👍.
What type of the dreaded bypass hose did you fit?
A flash silicone one
@@classicminiworkshop Good to hear & along with some nice stainless Jubilee clips or did you recycle the old one's? 🤣
@@paulrobinson3528 I used some cable ties, they don't rust 😁 (Only joking, some nice new stainless Jubilee clips)
@@classicminiworkshop I've got some stainless steel cable ties, would have worked a treat lol
Great to see orginal engine back in, is that the original colours of head and block it looks like the ukraine flag
1st 👍
Winner winner! I set it up today, mixture and timing, and it's running sweet. Pulling like a train too!
Hiya Keith-definitely the right idea to keep the matching numbers block. So good to finally see RG running. It's a credit to you Keith. Keep well.
