Bearings
What is the difference between these (all priced the same) [Mini Sport online catalogue] bearings :
Main bearings - 998 pre 1984 - STD
Main bearings - 998 pre 1984 - 010
Main bearings - 998 pre 1984 - 020
Main bearings - 998 pre 1984 - STD
Main bearings - 998 pre 1984 - 010
Main bearings - 998 pre 1984 - 020

Re: Bearings
The difference is. How much has your crankshaft been reground by? Std is, well standard size. 10 is a 10 thou grind and so on

Re: Bearings
And yes, before you ask, you can only find out by measuring….so you’ll have to strip the engine down before you can order them

Re: Bearings
And before you even think about taking the Engine out. Find out if the engineering facilities exist in your neck of the Woods

Re: Bearings
I suspect that it might be much more economic to purchase a reconditioned/new engine fro Mini Sport or similar.

Re: Bearings
Possibly. Obviously freight will be expensive and slow, and it will need a certain amount of re-assembly when it arrives. Also think about a full rebuild of your gearbox too, because it sounds like it is pretty tired.
I'm amazed to see that Minisport can still supply a brand new 998cc A+ engine. I assume it wouldn't have the correct diff ratio or driveshafts for your Moke, and you'd want at least a 1098cc, but its a steal at £5,000.00 (+VAT for our UK listeners).

Re: Bearings

Re: Bearings
Well Tim, buying that I would get it at £5,000(export) , then I pay crating, freight and insurance then 59% (which includes our 17% vat in that) on arrival here.
Then add brokerage fees local transportation etc.
Then installation.
However I could get a 1275cc for £3,103.04
https://www.minisport.com/1275cc-a-plus ... 0-1-1.html
I have a new (couple years old clutch and gearbox)
Or
a 998cc for £3,017.31
https://www.minisport.com/1098cc-a-seri ... 8-5-1.html

Re: Bearings
The 998 link is for a 1098 A not A+ engine.

Re: Bearings
AND. If you’re thinking of the 1275 you need to factor in a new distributor, flywheel, clutch (plate, arm, bearing) and starter motor as it’s an A+
So by then you’re just bout back up to £5k

Re: Bearings
That's good.
However bearings are comparatively cheap, its the machining of the crank and the entire re-build that make it expensive, so if you have it apart and the crank is not too worn, its possible just to have the journals linished and re-assemble with new bearings, which is almost as good as going the whole way on it, at much less cost.

Re: Bearings
I'd also recommend the ACL Bearings, make sure you get Lead copper heavy duty bearings as they match the original Glacier & Vandevell bearings. I'd definitely have the crank checked by an engineer, they will check whether the crank will need to be ground or whether just a polish is needed before you swap the bearings. I used https://www.bandaengineering.net to check my 1275cc. I believe King Bearings may do a lead copper bearing for this too. My friend in Bristol had good experience from Bristol Autocare too
