Definitely need a hand, doubt I could get it into the boot on my own. Almost ruined me just getting one out. Would weekend of the 29th/30th be better, or do you prefer weekday? Also, if this is too much of a hassle okay to retract offer. S

Haven't heard from dazza2122(?) so am putting this up for sale. Taken from a pre facelift 1.3L. It had already been taken out and was laying on the front carpet. There was a bit of moisture on the perspex and few of the bulb holders are missing. I've cleaned it up a bit and have no reason to...

So, how much lighter? Couldn't be more than a few ounces. But, with the 1.0L Facelift flywheel I can see where it might make a difference. Yes, happy to do it with the gasket and the 1.0L pistons because I like this kind of thing and, I'll need plenty of practice getting the cam timing...

"I Don't Believe It" Kheeerist, Reichard, are you really 70? I thought I had the dubious honour of being the oldest geezer on this site. Keep on truckin. In the words of the immortal Yogi Berra "It's not over 'till it's over." S

Yes, Swiper , checked with Her Indoors and got the okay, but can't make it until next week sometime, if that's okay. Best during the morning for me but let me know when and I'll try to work around it. Will you be able to help me put it in the boot? Assume this engine has the pistons still...

Valve clearance A few photos of impressions made by the valves on a bit of plasticine on the piston crown. No springs on the valves and without the gasket in place. Piston comes right to the top of the block. S

Magic! http://www.sa-motorsports.com/diyport.aspx Thanks, rather do that than type it all out. Generous offer, Swiper, I'm in Nottingham and will do a Multi-Map to Tupton. S

This rebuild is gathering momentum at a pace not originally intended. It was meant to be a fall/winter project but you know how once the fever takes hold it's difficult to stop it. Next step after (or while) my block is getting cleaned up is to get my hands on a cheap 1.0L block so I can rob...

Drawing Ah, got it now. Sorry to ask that question again, Craig, but didn't quite get the drawing before. If it is only 19mm, from the "notch above the piston pin" to the piston top, then there's only about 1.3mm differance between the two. All else being the same, it's certainly do-able if...

Rotation? I've never had mu hands on one, so really don't know which way they rotate. Just got a bee in my bonnet about superchargers and noticed that Mini Eatons are often auctioned off on eBay. Which begs the question why and what are they being replaced with? S

Thank you. Did a search (doh!) and apparently "mph" says they are also. S Incidentaly, solarice, what sort of supercharger are you running? I was wondering if an Eaton 45, out of a Mini, could be shoehorned into a Micra but decided there wasn't enough clearance for the belt, among other...

Can anyone give me this particular measurement off of a 1.0L piston? It is about 17.7mm on this 1.3L piston. S

Can anyone please tell me if they are the same? S

Apparently the Super S and SR weren't the only ones that came with a tach. This one came out of a "4-door" with a 1.3L, electric windows, etc. Couldn't tell the year as the front plate was missing and it was stacked on top of another car with the boot up so I couldn't tell if it was an LX, etc...

Price depends on what the scrapyard wants for it. They asked £20 for one out of a K10. I'll need a little for time and effort (not much). Postage will be around £5, or even less. If you want it, I'll see if I can get back before they crush the car. S

Might still be able to get this if anyone's interested. Wiring clipped very short, however, and can't vouch for condition. S

Try googling www.popularhotrodding.com/tech/0311_phr_compression_ratio_tech? for a better explanation then I could ever give you. S

Exactly! S

More pics Can't really tell if any are TDC but thought I'd post these anyway. Think I'll put the crank and one piston back in and check the "squish." S

Careless of me to overlook that. Didn't come to the top of the block, if I remember, maybe 6mm or so. Based on your drawing, however, it would seem that the pistons are not identical. Just to reiterate, I get 44.5mm, skirt to top, at the my piston's narrowest and 52mm at its widest. The bore...
