Working on my ‘79 B was such a joy. A Straight forward and honest engine. Enjoy my time working on it as much as driving it. And the ‘work’ was just routine maintenance.

Thanks for not forwarding through the 'real time' stuff - it's much better as is. I learned a few things here, as always with your videos. Great stuff.

I love the obvious quality of this engine and how you can tell how it was built to last and it sounds lovely these older engines much better than newer engines

The MGB is growing on me.

I'm on the way to buying my first B, and just doing some poking around to make sure I know what I'm signing up for, maintenance wise. This video was super helpful! Lovely and clear, and you've got great lighting and did a fantastic job focusing the camera on the small bits and really showing what you're talking about. Thank you for it!

The standard belt driven radiator fan consumes lots of power, especially at higher revs. For my 1967 MGB in about 1970 in Australia, I purchase from the UK an "Aerofan" which replaces the existing one, and the blades feather as the revs get higher. The difference in high end acceleration & top speed was amazing. Just one of the reasons all cars now have electric fans. Thanks for the memories - nice little vid.

Great video enjoy and learned a lot👍🇦🇺

Nice job, lovely MG!

I purchased, a brand new BSA motor cycle in 1969. Reg ended with 14G, making it registered in 1969.

Just bought one of these and this video is cracking! Cheers!

I had a similarly aged “B” and your little video brought back some memories. I’d forgotten how basic and simple they are. One point, it’s a 1968 model, not ‘67 as mentioned in your commentary.

I once did an oil and filter change on my Mk2 Astra and got sidetracked left the sump plug out. A gallon of genuine Vauxhall oil streaming down the drive! I wasn’t popular! 😂

Those 1800 B series engines were easy to work on and were normally reliable old lumps. I owned a used Morris Marina 1.8 Special back in the 80s, with the same B series engine. It was a good car until some idiot crashed into the back of it on a roundabout and wrote it off.

Whats cool mate, ya didnt need to admit ya left the sump.plug undone, but ya did. Real right good fella. Love your whole way about ya

Last tine I did this was 1981 when I sold my 1973 MGB after graduation from college.

I hope you checked thoroughly for an existing o-ring in that groove on the filter housing. They often get hard as a rock and are mistaken for metal. That will leak later if the second o-ring blows out.

Beautiful 67 MGB. Outstanding video and presentation. Looks like you may have a defective radiator cap or your radiator is leaking for the top weld. I have a 68 and 71 MGB. From California USA.

There is a gasket on both ends of the filter. The o ring goes in the goove the metal housing locates in. Also, there's no o ring for the filter itself as the filter is designed to move. Under normal circumstances the spring holds it down, when it's blocked the filter rises allowing oil to bypass the filter so as not to seize the engine.

Nice 👍 MGB

Bit more care with nuts and spammers on wings perhaps ?

Just purchased a 71 across the pond in Tennessee. Enjoyed the video thoroughly. Did you happen to oil the su carbs? If so, what did you use?

Do leave the car outside with the bonnet up ?

Did you get round to road testing the B? I can’t seem to find the video

hi any tips on stopping the oil filter housing from leaking please...driving me mad

Why won’t he move the oil can out of the way?

Or spanner’s even!

step 1: seal leaks

Stay on the farm a little knowledge is dangerous ! .
