Hi John Blast from the past MOWOG .. On some of the castings .. long time ago a lad I worked with had a ( Morris ??? BMC ??? ) engine to power his Narrow Boat ... I remember MOWOG on that when we rebuilt it .. Being a Biker I was amazed at pinch bolts on the little end of the con-rod .. No idea whether that was peculiar to the Marine ...( canal boats marine ? ) engine or not . Not a BL fan myself .. had a Marina 1.8 Estate for 7 weeks ... absolute camel .. :bang: BC |
