    Hi Steve

    Valve lift approx 0.397" or 10mm
    valve to head face should be approx 8 mm.
    head gasket compressed approx 0.75 mm
    as long as your cutouts are approx 3.5 mm deep you will be ok. Dont forget to slacken the rocker adjusting screws right off so you dont coil bind on fitment of head.
    On a +60 the ex valves only just hit the block if not relieved so you do not need tons of ...

    Found some SU dimensions ( incl HS6 on net) see below....I presume HIF6/44 similar to HS6.....except for the reduced inlet bore. Sizes present some interesting problems for the flange as it has dimension of 54 mm between holes and hole dia approx 9mm so distance between the holes is 45mm i.e. the hole are blinded by section size. Even if you use 60 by 40 section and cut at 20deg the X section...

    I've filed out the cylinder top as documented on Peter Burgess website but am still not confident that I have taken enough out. How much meat is there in the block at this point?

  • Ste Midget K06 February 2012

    Lloyd,

    You see those eye end bolts near the pivot point of the legs in silver? Take those out, remove said beam that you’re having trouble with and the legs fold upwards. I'll get a picture tonight, I do believe mine has a slight gap where you mentioned but it’s all in a compressive load when in use so I wouldn’t worry.

    Driver's Handbook cover will look something like this

    but Canadian cover is blue and angle of car photo is different

    venting should be as I described for mine - I've just checked in the driver's Handbook! - so check pipes for blockage and the oil filler cap should be black plastic will a vent hole and inside the top part is a rolled mesh filter that may need cleaning (photo to follow...

    it is a Datsun 'box. I'm keeping all a-series parts for the moment in case a reversal is required.

    Onno, I agree but, It looked very complicated to achieve!

  • NICE RESTORED '52 MGTD

    As nice a '52 TD that you will find. Cream with red leather interior and proper matching red grille slats.

  • 1955 ARNOLT MG ONE OF THE RAREST OF MG

    There were very few Arnolt MG�s ever produced and this particular car has already had a lot of time and money put into it. The restoration on this coupe was not completed because of the passing away of the owner. Body work is all finished and new leather interior installed. Original engine is still with the car and all other components to complete are included. This is An excellent investment op...

  • 1967 MGB RED

    I find it fitting that it was from this site that I found and bought this car in 2002. It has been a joy to own and drive. I've met wonderful people along the way, and enjoyed meeting strangers as they admired the car.

    Alas, family changes mean it is time to sell. I'll post pics later, or email me directly.

    This is a 1967, in wonderful shape. It has run like a top since day one...
