| Post subject: | B series engine parts |
Hey, Just for future reference: I was looking at pics of B series engines earlier and they look like out familiar A series, just wondering if any parts are compatable between models? Apologies if this has been covered, couldnt find anything of this nature elsewhere.

all I can see is different bore stroke and bearing sizes as the engine ccs increase as you would expect different ring types and gaps as well all depends on what engine mods are done from standard I did a web search as "b series mini engines" and came up with info you might find helpfull click on" other products " and the next site it looks like there are differences |

I don't have plans for anything, I just wanted to know for future reference. Doesnt hurt to have the extra knowledge.

As far as I know there's very little compatible , they look visually similar on paper but the B series is so much bigger in every dimension that I doubt anything would fit . There may be things like pulleys and generater but that's about it . I spent years going to wrecking yards with a mate who's into MG's so we were constantly getting bits off A series and B series , don't recall anything being common . |

The thoughts got started when I noticed an MG engine on ebay, complete with twin carbs and everything for what looked a good price. With BMC being as cheap as they were its just curiosity that makes you wonder "would they have re-designed that or re-used it?" In reality I wouldnt go buying anything, I'm too lazy to do so.

The blocks are considerably larger , anybody got a picture of a mini motor/box and an Austin 1800 motor/box side by side to see the size difference ? Manifolds are different but the carbs would fit , that's about all . |

You might be able to use the oil filler cap.

Don't worry about the E-series, take a look at the Rover K-series (MGF, Freelander etc.) http://www.minimarcos.org.uk/altpics/minki/index.html Twin overhead cam, 16 valve 1400cc, Now that would be fast! The Freelander base model had a 1800cc version of the K-Series (thats what I've been told so I'm not 100% sure). |
