Hi Bill,
I have a late TD/TF block for sale. It is bare but does have the main caps.
If interested I will check the current bore size.
I would install the proper block for your engine, it will cost you no more
and the car will be that bit more correct.
Early blocks will require a different distributor mounting and possibly a
different distributors. Otherwise the TF and TD blocks are the same
dimensionally. Of course the early TD blocks have banana water holes and the
MG cast into the block on the RHS. Early water holes will mean use of banana
head gasket with your round hole head. So all things considered, its easier
to use the correct block.
Regards, Bob
Can anyone share some knowledge on MG TD engine blocks. I am in need of a
new block. I broke a wrist pin bolt and lost the block on my engine. I
found one block but upon testing it a crack was found at the bottom of one
of the cylinders into the water jacket.
Does anyone have a 3newer2 style for sale?
My engine had the newer style oil pump and distributor with the cotter bolt
mounting.
What are the pros and cons in using an older TD block. Were improvements
made over the years are are they basically the same?
Thanks for any help.
Bill Loubiere
