FP42270UE FOR SALE. Completed 12-23-2022 This engine is a performance build. I began work on this engine on 11-08-2022. It has .020" oversized flat top pistons, the head has been shaved down to 2.99" to achieve 9.5:1 compression and it has a 270 duration cam. This is an MG Midget 1500 that I received as a core. It will also fit a Triumph Spitfire. The rotating assembly has been balanced. It has all new bearings and tappets. It has a new rocker shaft, double springs, valve guides, double timing chain and sprockets. The valves and valve seats have been ground. The center main oil gallery has been drilled out to 5/16" to accommodate better oil flow to the #2 and #3 rod bearings. The diametric clearance on the thrust washers is .005" of end float to resolve the thrust washer issue. It has been sealed up with all new gaskets and seals. The covers are powder-coated red and the block is painted black very much like the picture. I have run this engine on my test run stand for nearly an hour. The oil pressure was 75 psi on start up and really didn't drop much below that during the run up. I checked the compression numbers after initial run up; #1 - 180, #2 - 175, #3 - 185, #4 - 180. I made a completion video that can be viewed on YouTube by clicking here. If you need an engine, Contact me for prices and availability.
