Dr Mini's how to refers to a 1275 engine, you wouldn't bother if it was a 998/1100

Doing a 998 or 1098 is the same process, except you don't need the oil pump spacer. On a smallbore block, the pump recess depth is the same whether manual or automatic. Not so on a 1275.:wink:

Yeah, it's not as though 998s or 1098s are scarce is it.
You bust one of these, just pull another out of the pile in the corner.. :lol:

Scrap men don't pay much for steel scrap now.
I was at Sainty Engineering this week, they said that where they used to get $600/ton for steel milling swarf, now they get zip. :cry:
