Re: Compatibility between 2000Mk 2 & the 2.5 PI

Hi Simon

There are quite a few differences between the two. The main block and head are unique to each model and variation. The main block on the 2.5 is a different size, slightly taller to accommodate the extra 500cc. Many of the smaller items such as fixing brackets are the same. The parts book ...

Hi Valencia

I have the same problem. The angle is different. I hope to assemble it all and fit it on the head on Tuesday but first impressions, I am not sure it will work ...

Re: New heating pipe olive

Hi Simon

I have just fitted this pipe to my 2500TC engine which I am rebuilding. I got it from Chris. You will more than likely need to cut it down slightly. It’s not a fault as such but as you will probably find out, the engine for our cars is fitted to a few other models such as the TR range so I ...

Re: EBay - 2500S For Sale

Thanks Johnnydog, I had spotted most of those. Strange about the Pi expansion tank! I think we will pass on this one.

Spares for sale

It’s disappointing to see the amount of spare parts & bits for sale on sites such as eBay that go unsold. Some are offering them for free. It’s a pity the club can’t get these and store them. I know there will challenges involved with this. I also think people would be happy to donate them to the ...

Re: Clutch judder

Hi Peter
A friend of mine with a Pi had this problem. He managed to acquire an original Unipart Laycock clutch kit and had this fitted. He also fitted new bolts to the belt housing and used the drill bits as described by Johnnydog to align it all up. Since then no problems and a really nice feeling ...

I have for sale, an early MG 2.5 engine with PAS and with a 218227 head which runs very well. This engine was brought from a club member and refurbished by the previous owner and fitted about a year before I purchased the car in 2021. It has covered 7k miles since then. It has good compression and ...
