Thread: 2A SWB in the shed

On my MGBGT I fitted a Moreys upper cylinder injections syatem , run it for 8 years untill I sold the car with out any problems. It injecte the correct amount of unleaded additive into the manifold so you dont have to worry about putting it in the tank.
U

This is the system I used. Photo didn't work . I will try a nether way

See if this works. It turned it back on its side . Don't know what is going on , some photo's I upload keep rotating back even when I rotate them the correct way up.

Water pump ? is the water pump supposed to spin very freely? I suspect so. I can't seem to see any overhaul kits?.any suggestions?

Land Rover seats are very hard and designed for poor-quality fuel; you will not need to worry about wasting money on additives, even if you do sustained high speed running. LPG makes life hard for the valves, so ask the re-conditioner if you plan to use LPG.

The re-conditioner will have an extractor to pull the camshaft bearings out; I suspect it will be cheaper than making a tool to do it.

The water pump should turn easily by hand with the drag of the seal noticeable; it won't "spin freely" but there should be no roughness. Check for water stains on the weep-hole underneath the pump; if there are any it is cheaper to replace the pump usually.

Thanks Charlie & 1950Landy and co.

Looks like a new pump, I did find complete units and a bearing replacement (Was looking under engine parts, not cooling!) so I'll see which ones the best outcome.

Intersting to hear re the valve seats. Once I get it to the reconditioner I'll take his advice also. Compression was down on all cylinders thich may only be all the rings,

Cheers

I put a kit through one a while back.
The replacement shaft in the kit is a larger diameter than the original,
from memory, I think 5/8" now, where old was 1/2" or 9/16"
