v8 inlet manifold composite gasket

mitchmg — Sun, 18 May 2008 18:49:22 GMT

Spent this afternoon stripping the carbs and inlet manifold off the V8

and the manifold gasket put up a good fight on removal due to the liberal amount of sealant applied. Due to the makeup of the new composite gasket I presume no sealant need be applied around the water ports ? Manifold is now off to get powder coated so I have time to ponder the question.

Thanks and regards:)

Beta-test a thoroughly categorized MGB-only for-sale list?

NASpecMGB — Wed, 14 May 2008 22:56:16 GMT

Hello,

I want to tread very lightly because I do not want to spam anyone or step on any toes. That said, I think many folks here would have a fun time checking out this website for free while we're beta-testing.

I have developed a huge database of current MGB for-sale ads gathered from throughout the US and Canada then thoroughly analyzed by computer and categorized by hand to create infinite search and sort possibilities for buyers of MGBs. This is not a simple for-sale ad aggregator like ...

J2 spark plugs

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 09:57:47 GMT

I guess this is one for Dave!!

What spark plugs should I be using in a J2?

Long or short reach?

If I use long reach does this matter in a "standard" engine?

(This is the first time I've used this website & like Dave I'm finding it somewhat difficult to navigate to find what I want.... (not a tulip diagram in sight...)

modern mg values

dave stewart — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 10:29:17 GMT

We will soon be giving away MGFs! Even a TF can be had for four grand now. Surely they are not that undesirable?

Makes you wonder how many chinese TF LE500s they will sell - if ever they come to the market! The launch delay from the end of last year was to "sort out quality issues" and they would launch "in the spring to take advantage of the seasonal sales boom" but now it's rumoured to be the autumn - hmmmm..

MG modern TF spares

dave stewart — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 20:25:05 GMT

We wanted to fit foglights to the TF. Just knockout the blanking plate and pop them in I thought, however it is proving impossible to source a fog light wiring harness, and you do need one. Both lamps, the relay, and the switch have special multi pin plugs which cant be "knife and forked". In the old days you wired up lamps with a roll of wire and a box of terminals!

So anyone out there with a TF, if you don't have foglights - keep it that way!!

PS if your TF is pre 2004 [which ...

Anyone with experience of mods to MGC's? (Engine, carbs, 5 speed box, suspension etc.) Also I have loads of spares for C's if anyone is interested. I am currently breaking a LHD US spec GT.

Oil Leak

Midget1 — Thu, 06 Dec 2007 17:53:20 GMT

Well, I have finally given up trying to stop an oil leak through one of the forward sump bolts. After many hours underneath trying to insert heli coils I have decided the only way to do it properly is to take the engine out. What else would be worthwhile doing if I go down this route? A 5 speed gearbox perhaps?
