Damn, shame it needs a grind,

Oh well, you have every thing looking spick and span from the pics above, keep that up and you'l have no probs

Oh, its always good to have some cans of brake and clutch cleaner handy too, great for squiring down oilways to disolve grime.

Very nice looking engine. The good looks must add at least 5 hp. ;-)

I have, I did, and boy did I enjoy it today!!

I can honestly say that fitting the new MG Metro camshaft, 295 head and twin 11/4" carbs was worth every penny. And even tho the first attempt was a fail, I think I have now got it sorted, time will tell.

Only problem I have had so far is the darn seal on the bottom of the oil filter canister failing and rust proofing the underside of the car... :wub:

Well done -and it's a great pity they hadn't 'invented' that MG Metro cam when the 998 Cooper was in Production! And indeed - would have been (and is today) a great improvement on the Cooper S models too......
