Hello everyone,
This is not so much "with" my Austin 7 but more "for" after having just returned from buying a complete Nippy engine which I've been looking for over the years since the original one broke a crank many years ago and put it straight through the side of the engine. The subsequent engine has been great for many years and many thousands of miles but has never quite been "right" despite having many of the original parts transferred to it.
Now I just need to find a few days to get the engines swapped over and see if the new engine is as good as I'm hoping for - and maybe even slightly oil tight too? The one in the car has always leaked copious amounts of oil with no obvious source or cure found to date despite many peoples' efforts over the years.
I'll let you know how I get on once things are transferred over...
Best wishes,
Nick
