Okay.
I was looking at the recesses on the side of the head behind the exhaust manifolding.
Too many different types of cars over the years, MOST seem to have sparkers on the exhaust side.

Thanks!

Bob;

That is one pretty car. I really like that crossflow head.
As always, your work is just perfect.

Now thats funny, you've probably put more MGBs together than everyone else on this MG forum combined :smile:

OH, I love the biege, pretty MGB roadster I ever saw was biege with red leather.
 
Is the crossflow head really worth the extra money? Can you feel a noticeable performance difference?
 
Well i am back at it. The windshield is in and i have most of the suspension and brakes completed. The fuel system is ready and i have installed a battery disconnect switch. Exhaust is completed as well. The lugnuts i purhcased from ebay have still not arrived. 10 days and counting! I really want to see what its going to look like with the 4 spoke Libre wheels on it. Engel had 4 of the 6 OE body side mldgs so i am still missing 2. Tomorrow may be a good day to sniff some glue....AW...Install carpets. Bob

A few more days and i could drive this MG. The throtle is stiff and sticky, the choke cable is not installed and things like the map light and radio blank are not installed yet. The front sits high for my taste and after it settles i may install older MGB or MGA front springs. Also have to clean the headlight and fan switch. Plus that one missing headlight door! Its a fairly short punch list that gets longer as i see more things to fix or install. Anyone recognise the wheel centers? Bob

Looks fantastic! I love that color.
Are the centers front dust covers for the bearings?
You do good work Man!

Dave :cheers:
 
Dave, Good guess but they are freeze/core plugs. The machine shop i use said he thinks they are out of a 460 ford engine. Bob
