- The oil pressure in my MGB is starting to get a bit low (about 5 psi at idle, coming up to 45 at full chat when hot, or 55 at full chat when warm). Considering that of the 5,000 miles I've put on her

- On the later style crossmember, you can't get at the rear bolt without taking apart the suspension (at least taking out the spring and pan). I don't know about the early one, which I'm thinking you h
