Looks like the crank wanted to look after the oil filter... :shock:


He he he , Nope ... It's a South African 1275 block which has the oil filter screwing directly onto the block where the top oil line would fit on a conventional block , no external oil line or filter housing on them . Obviously the oil filter housing on conventional mini motors is incredibly strong and that's what saves our engines :lol: :lol: :lol: (tongue very firmly in cheek)

What the hell happened to the one in your photo jan , that's an incredible amount of damage :shock:

I don't realy wanna know to be honest... ;)
We had a thread (german Mini forum) chatting 'bout damaged parts and someone threw this one in. Winner! :lol:

Back to topic:
Is GR the only person selling his cams?
I've heared it's a verry good cam which gives good performance even in low/middle revs? [edit] I mean the RE13 profile :)

Regards,
Jan

Some of Graham Russell's cams (including RE13 spec) are available from Keith Calver in the UK, he gets them ground there under licence.

In Oz, Mini King sells Graham's cams too.
