The top of one of the valves broke off and gouged a big streak in the plating. I wanted to bore it oversized but the guy said it was a nightmare getting...

I bought a used Millrite which is about 3/4 the size of a Bridgeport. I've never wanted a smaller one and I wish I'd held out for a Bridgeport....

[Commander_Chaos]

Huh. I got Nikaseal (sil) on an SR500 barrel and it wasn't that expensive. My gripe was that when I blew it up at a track day the amount of money to remove...

I thought my new vehicles had nikasil plating on the cylinders that make break-in unnecessary.

I want to make a new shaft for this pump but I don't know what stock to use. I looked at drill rod on McMaster-Carr but there's several different kinds...

My new midget engine is a 1275 long block from an unknown builder. I got it from a guy who races sprites and had it as one of his spares. It's built to...

I'm putting a new engine in my MG Midget and I'm wondering about the break-in period. The formula I always used on my motorcycles was "50 mph for...

I had a sail-powered tricycle that would go 1000mph up the side of Mount McKinley. I only got rid of it because Christey Brinkley kept showing up at my...

It's a 1275. I went from a 4.2 to a 3.7 diff and am getting 80 out of it. It might do more but I'm not keen to run it over 5Krpm. I'll likely go to a...

It's a midget, not a B.

The motor I have was checked out by a guy in my local MG club who specializes in building MG engines and he said...

[Commander_Chaos]

I wasn't clear that what I'm installing is a long block with an oil pan so the carbs, manifolds, distributor, etc. goes back in the car.

[Commander_Chaos]

The engine is already out, so no chance of running it now. Sounds like my original thought if seal it up with some oil in it is pretty close.

I'm in the process of doing an engine swap on my little MG and I'm wondering how to store the original engine. There's nothing wrong with it, the new...
