Check the 4 screws holding the rotor to the drive flange are tight. If loose you can get creaking noises. I knock them up with an impact screwdriver. |

One of the cable tie ends on the hub was definitely knocking so I swapped it with a smaller cable tie which seems to have gotten rid of that noise. drmini in aust wrote: Paddy wrote: jpodge wrote: It just sounds like a very small knock with each rotation of the wheel/driveshaft.

I pulled the drivers side wheel off first to give those screws a knock with the impact driver. They seemed tight enough and couldn't tell if I got them any tighter. The passenger side however was completely loose and I was able to wind them out all the way with my fingers!! So I lock tightened them and gave them a good nip with the impact driver. Just about to head up to Cudlee Creek so hopefully the noises are gone. |

I may be wrong but that brass plug is water. |

One of those is in an oil gallery, but it's on the suction side of the pump so no good for a feed. |

Use the oil pressure gauge connection or drill and tap the front of the main oilway for a brass fitting. Below water pump. |

I love how a Mini makes a small workshop look huge. Mine is very cramped with the Mini and the Soarer in it now. |

Wow, that head absolutely dwarfs the block, but that’s where all the power is produced so I guess it stands to reason ! |
