WHY JMAC ENGINE SHOP?
I can rebuild any British car engine but I specialize in the MG Midget/Triumph Spitfire 1500 engine and limit my focus on rebuilding only this engine, the Spitfire 1300, GT6 2000 and the TR6 2500. I provide a clean, well rebuilt motor that will provide miles of smiles. I have done my homework. The 1500 had some design and manufacturing flaws that in many cases caused the motor to fail long before it should have. When I rebuild a 1500 I correct those flaws and build a motor that will last.
When I set out to rebuild my first 1500 I decided I wasn’t going to try for higher compression, more horsepower, or more torque. My goal was to build a solid engine that would be durable with just enough tweaks to give it plenty of “get up and go”. I’m not a speed shop, adding expensive lightweight connecting rods or roller rockers. I wasn’t building a race engine. I was building an engine that I could depend on for my daily driver. That first rebuild was still running well when I sold that car having put nearly 125,000 miles on it.
Though I can’t guarantee those kinds of results with every engine, I am confident that every engine I rebuild will provide years of great service.
Every engine is given a test run on my test stand for approximately 2 hours to insure it runs properly, builds adequate oil pressure and water temperature. Then I retorque the head and readjust the valves so that when you receive your engine, you too can have confidence your car will take you where you want to go.
