I've not ran it up since though, I bought a new set of plugs as it has been running on 3 cylinders. I put on a new forge bleed valve to replace the ebay jobby I had. Even though it's fully shut the time being. I need to sort out some rolling road time just to check fuelling and ignition timing, but there's some small jobs to sort before then. Mike with the silver mini with K head turbo engine has a rolling road and is local so was planning to use him. As always I have now money, and we're in the middle of buying a house so might be a while yet. |

Good to see your still at it mate 👌👌👌 Cheers, still plugging away. I was bored the other day so took the mini and up and the road. All was going well until a big back fire and the engine cut out. I spun it over and got another back fire. So I left it and pushed the car home. Luckily some people saw me and gave me a hand pushing. So yesterday and today I was checking the trigger wheel position. Looks like it was 180 degrees out. I did install the trigger wheel 6 or 7 years ago. So best course of action was to strip it down find TDC and reset the missing tooth. When I came to undo the bottom pulley bolt I found it was lose. So I'm assuming it has slipped knackered the ignition timing causing the back fire. On Monday I'll get some loctite to make sure it isn't loose again. |

Not much progress as usual. Can't remember if I said we bought a house? We moved in, in August. So I've been busy with that and a busy work schedule and the weather turning.

Monumental day today! First MOT in 8 years and it passed! Took the mini for a little rip and its awesome! It's running rich at the moment. I've got a BCA needle in the carb.

The rolling road with Mike is booked for next Saturday. I'm busy this weekend sadly. I drove the mini yesterday to pick my daughter up from school. It seems lean at low revs, think I need to richen the idle up a little.

160 'nanna's? Shane I'd be happy with that. Took the mini to work yesterday, I richened the mixture screw before I left. That made the low rpm a little smoother. I re torqued the head while I was there, its drilled for 11 studs. On the way home I pulled over as the engine was warm, and richened it a touch more. Low 13s/high 12s Afr at idle the engine seemed a lot happier pulling from low rpm now. At home I swapped the wiper arms and blades over. I had some cheap chrome ones that were useless, also one of the blades was a defect on the MOT. I've fitted the black hook type used on the later minis with bosch blades. I checked the manifold studs and tightened those up. I also ordered a forge dump valve to replace the plastic bosch copy I have currently, just for peace of mind. |

You've a very good chance of those numbers and upward. I'm very interested to see what this engine spec does with mine in bits currently... Tyres may be your limiting factor on the rollers.

BCA is a lot richer top end then the BDD. I've got both so I might swap them about this week and see what the AFRs are like. |
