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:

The rest of the car was a disaster :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
