This is a long one. I decided to put this video together to show how I refurbish and modify a stage 1 lead free converted MGB engine.
Hope you enjoy.

Will it make 120hp ? If you fit a 285cam you need higher compression .

Hi, thanks for viewing.. or customer didn't want to much of a spec'd up engine, just a good std so the cam fitted was very mild just to help with overtaking. But yes your correct best to up the compression with a 285

Greetings from across the pond (USA), James! I just found your wonderfully thorough and informative video. Thank you so much for making and sharing it. I bought my ‘73 roadster in 1975 whilst I was then attending university. Never once did I ever think of selling her. She only has 64,000 miles on her and I am presently in the final months of a full restoration just in time to celebrate her 50th birthday this year. Best wishes for much health, prosperity, and happiness in this new year, James! Cheers! Gene

Owned 3 Triumphs and an MGB in the early 80s here in the states. Rebuilt the MGB engine and the one out of the 67 Triumph, man were parts a pain to get here.

Currently on castle rails, but once I get past the rust project and back onto mechanicals might just! Here’s one: timing wanders up to 10degrees (between 30 and 40 BTDC) on the crank at 3000rpm. I have retarded it so keep it less than 35 max. Worn dizzy driver gear ? After listening to the Silver jubilee idling in the other video, mine is much less uniform and has uneven, misfiring idle. There’s play in the electronic ign plastic connector on the end of the spindle - could it be a harmonic causing chatter? I have rebuilt, regreased dizzy and replaced vacuum to no avail. Will replace coil too next.
@graceenginedevelopments
@graceenginedevelopments Год назад
Have you checked the springs in the distributor are fitted correctly?
@RobFieldingz
@RobFieldingz Год назад
@@graceenginedevelopments thanks for entertaining a reply to a vague and complex internet post! Yep springs seem good but I should get another dizzy as I have nothing to compare with. Vac disconnected, revs down from 2000 to 1200 to 900 idle there is a definite step at 1200, which I guess is the springs pulling back the weights. It runs alright, but undulates at idle and chatters at high revs. Idles too low when cold but slowly rises to around 900 when warm. Cant wait to pull the engine out and look at it. If there’s one thing this rebuild (my first) has shown is that much can be gained from pulling it apart and assembling it. Thanks for the vids. I will speak with a local engine rebuilder next year with a list of requirements derived from your content. Good tip on eliminating the oil pump castings.

This is a good complement to "Dr." Doolin's engine rebuild video. There are some differences as to the way I rebuilt my engine, but then I did no mods. Seeing this, I'm glad I didn't try to port or relieve my engine since it can reveal weaknesses in the castings. I used plastigauge to determine the main bearing clearances. Having watched this, I wish I had balanced the new pistons and the conrods, but it still runs great, so I have no complaints. It's interesting to see all that happens to the parts I sent out to the machine shop: the block, head, and crank. I wish you had shown how you pressure-tested the head...

Used to recon a lot of these engines. Had a Magnette ZB. Used to be heavy user of oil. 250 miles per pint but designed to do so as it was slightly tuned from production and oil usage was designed to protect from early piston wear. Stroke at 89.9 mm was quite long but gave good engine breathing. Performance was ok but far from breathtaking. Used it mainly on 200. Mile trips and comfortable. Then moved on to jaguar mk 1 3.4 that was a bit different. That is another story! Good old B series engines were very reliable.

MGB: Absolutely superb! I remember restoring my MGB GT 'a million years ago', taking the engine apart and putting it back together again! Your project bought back some fond memories I can tell you. And I take my hat off to you sir: Your attention to detail is second to none - there's a few so called engineers that could take a leaf out of your book and be better for it. Respect is absolutely due. Looking forward to watching your other videos. Nice one! 👏🏾👏🏾👍👍

Costa Blanca , sorry Blackpool 🤷‍♂️, I’ve a 81 mgb with 57,000 with what appears to be a knocking on tick over, pushes above 50 on the oil pressure, so a rebuild might be an option as she’s a really good solid straight car, matching numbers I think. I’ve a 67 midget and a 66 roadster, plus a 54 tf and an 35 Morris 8, ( might have a ring broke on her) . So that’s why I need a James up here in Lancashire 😎

Brilliant presentation and absolutely fascinating to watch! I did a couple of partial engine rebuilds in my youth (Vauxhall Viva HB and Series 3 Landrover) with the help of my Dad and also watched him completely rebuild an Opel Rekord engine and gearbox. He was an aircraft fitter and toolmaker by trade and now all he taught me (that largely went in one ear and out of the other at the time!) is starting to make sense. Particularly great to see all the milling and grinding etc. which my Dad would do in his lunch break in work, so I never got to see that bit as it actually happened.
