June 2023: I am building a high performance 1500 for testing. It will incorporate TR6 pistons into a 1500. They are lighter and the wrist pin is offset slightly to improve the torque curve RPM. The standard TR6 pistons are equal to the .040 over 1500 pistons in bore size. I will be further lightening the engine by using Maxpeeding rods and an aluminum flywheel. I will be enlarging the intake valve size to 1.438" and performing mild porting to the intake/exhaust ports. There will be approximately $1000 over a regular performance build because of the added machining, the rods and the flywheel. If you are interested in one of these high performance models, ask me about it. To follow this build click here and scroll almost to the bottom of the page.
July 2022: I added a new feature to my website for testimonials. It has been suggested by several customers that I should make a way for comments to be left for future visitors to this site. So I added the feature. Thank you for the suggestion; you know who you are. December 2021: I made a decision as 2021 comes to an end. I have decided to narrow my rebuilding efforts back to Triumph Spitfire 1300's, 1500's (MG Midget 1500), GT6 and TR6 engines. I would rather focus and specialize in this style of engine and continue to provide a comprehensively rebuilt engine for these cars and not get overwhelmed by a backlog of projects. I will continue to try to keep Spitfire/Midget 1500s on a shelf ready to sell; this is something I have not been able to do since last year.
My apologies go out to all MGA, MGB, MG T-series, TR3/4/4a owners. When I am asked about rebuilding one of these engines I will consider doing one if I am not overly busy with Spitfire and TR6 engines. Expect to be referred to other comprehensive shops. Ask me for referrals.
