As the title says very busy wit maintenance of the Mini Marcos.
First of is the heather it was leaking. I let it repair, and the radiator was not ad his best.
So I let it also repair.
I also want to replace the water hoses with samco sport hoses.
Next up is the cylinder head, the valve seals are gone so I have to put in new one's.
The exhaust, will be replaced. I am going fore a full system maniflow  .
It will cost something, but I recon you'll get something.

To day start it with the cylinder head, I did not get very far > . I need to remove the exhaust first.
For this I need to build a ramp or something.

| What sort of manifold has it got? If it's a cast iron one you should be able to remove the clamp, disconnect the pipe from the transmission so that it drops down a bit and remove the manifold. If it's an lcb exhaust it should come out through the top but you'll need to take the exhaust system off first, including the Y-piece. So you'll need a jack and axle stands at least. It is easier to remove the exhaust system before you undo the manifold studs! |

For this I use a little ramp.
So that the exhaust can be removed.
Den there was enough clearance to remove the cylinder head.
A little jiggling
And there is the whole exhaust.
There is the trouble oil traces, on the inlet valves.
So we need to chance the valve stem seals

| Yes I was thinking that. They're not the valve guides I'm familiar with, or the seals for that matter. I haven't seen valve seals with metal collars before. They're usually black rubber with a spring round the neck for the inlet valves or small O-rings for the exhausts. You really only need to control the oil going down the inlet valve stems, and limit the amount of exhaust blowing out through the exhausts. |

This weekend I am again working on my Marcos, I came across the problem of a sticky clutch. Also the hose from the slave to the pipeline was broken, this I knew. I have replaced this with a metal wired one.
While dismantling the clutch hose I had to remove the top engine stabilizer, here I noticed the rubber bushes where in bad shape. These are going to be replaced with polystyrene bushes.
