I'm letting the oil of from my oldest mini and the second I let it flow 3 large (3on 5 mm ) chunks of metal looks like aluminium to be true. Fall aut of the gearbox. .. car always ran okey. Oil started running slow the second after that so gave it little poke now runs well.

Seems that the magnetic trap came loose to but no problem with that i have a magnecor between the oil filter and oilfilter housing

Pick of big chunk. Its not magnetic and looks like casing so i presume aluminum

The round tube in the last pick is the magnet that came of the oil plug. Sorry if that gave some confusion. The rest i just checked over and is aluminium for sure.

That much metal you really need to pull the box. I think your looking at part of the bearing housing behind the pinion gear or part of the speedo drive housing.

Yes was afraid to get that advise. Its an old metro engine. Speedo never worked because its seemed that the gear pin was not in place... never looked to fiks it (no time working 14 hours a day) ... hmmm going to take the risk to go to france with it and start building a new gearbox once home. (Or just take one of an other engine that i have. If i have one that fits... )

Well i made the whole run with the gearbox and also know what broke off now.. it seams that someone one's upon a time... had the wrong bolts in the drive shaft housings (to long) braking trough the aluminium lumps inside. Now i striped the box of but was thinking will im ad it to put on twin carbs.... (zenith strombergs dc 125s on a alexander inlet) few questions though.... would a 1275 head make a big difference ? Or would it be overkill with the twin carbs? ?
Just few quick questions. .. how much clearance am i looking for between the valve and the floor of the pocket? I have 1 mm now to the block face ( not machined yet) i know that because i once ran this head on this engine but took it of after a week and seen that the inlets where white... so didn't got the guts to put it back on and swapped it for a modded 998 head.
Last but not least.. what pushrods do i use? The 998s or the 1275s? Guessing the 998s but want to be sure.

Grts

Edited because i realised i had to do some easy searching before asking a shitload of questions. ..
