MECHSPEC REBUILT MG ENGINES

We have been rebuilding MGB and Midget Engines now for over 25 years and believe our engines to be among the best in the business

We offer various different specifications or can build an engine to your own spec.

All engines come with a 12 Month or 12,000 mile waranty,and each engine is carefully assembled by either Dave, or our engine builder, Steve.

 

 

ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS

Whilst it is not now possible to buy a new MG engine, we rebuild all our engines to as close to new specification as possible. All our engines feature the following:-

1. Engine block re-bored, honed and fitted with new pistons

2. Crankshaft re-ground and fitted with new main,big-end and thrust bearings

3. New oil pump fitted

4. New camshaft and cam followers (tappets) fitted

5. New timing chain and tensioner fitted

6. Peter Burgess unleaded cylinder head with all new valves and springs fitted

7. Re-conditioned rocker shaft assembly fitted

8. All new gaskets and seals
