MGB Cylinder Head (5 Bearing)

I'd love to have that conversion! MX5 engine in a GT would be a perfect classic daily. If you think it might be available option I could well be interested


No sucking eggs here, I didn't know of the difference so appreciate the input.

Basically, for the past four years or so my engine has sounded like someone dropped a bag of spanners in the engine bay. The mechanic at the time said the compression was ok, but keep it below 3k if I could and nurse it along until I got around to getting it rebuilt.

I've hardly used it for past couple of years (probably a mix of not wanting to push my luck it, and partly because of the arrival of twins). A member of the local MGOC has an engine available as a result of an engine swap, but without a head (hence the post). I don't have any mechanical experience, but I'd like to learn so I thought this could be a good opportunity to pull the bit of engine that there is there apart which would mean I could keep the car on the road and then try and cobble one together at leisure.

If there's another engine available via bstardchild then maybe I'd change track, but that's the plan for now.

Edited to add: I think 2021 might be the year that tips the balance in that I would have owned the car for more years than I've lived without owning it so it only seems fair I get around to sorting the engine out!
