Hello folks
Stand back and please don't yell at me.... my dad has the wonderful 131 engine and transmission/propshaft in his Morris Minor... and needs some help. The engine needs a new timing belt tensioner and a new rubber for the propshaft centre bearing. When I was back in the UK (i live in Australia) I bought 2 of the bearings, and both were wrong! So I figure that if it was replaced by a good experienced Fiat place they would get the correct one! I'm amazed at how many different bearings there are for this one style of engine.......
It is a '79 1600TC engine and gearbox.
PS the car it came out of was a real dog - not worth saving!
PPS - the gearbox also whines, and he had both of the main bearings replaced. I'm sure it is one or both of the layshaft bearings - is this common? has about 75000miles on it.
thanks!
Andy
