Location: North of the Harbour planning my next mini project
Good to see all of our minis are behaving so well, cause no one has done any work on a mini for a few days. :?
Well I dismantled my 1275 LS engine and gearbox over the past few evenings.
Cam has 621 stamped on the end? What does that mean?
Crank looks good 10/10.
Rod ends are a little stange, they have a big conter weight on them?
Pistons have a very big dish.
Gearbox is brilliant.
Now have to start a conversation with GR about engine specs for the Metro Turbo installation. And then drop all of the bits over to GR.

Next thing is to concentrate on the body, strip paint, sandblast edges and repair rusty bits.. :)

621 is a Camtech cam. [edit] it's NOT a VP3, that one is a 619.
Timing 25/56-65/20.
lobe lift .264"/.266"
duration 261/265 degrees.
LCA 108 degrees
Rocker clearance .015"
RPM range 1500-6500.

If you are going to use those rods, I'd machine the big lumps off the caps then rebalance, and consider wedging the big journal crank.
