- What year did the 5 main bearings start showing up in the MGB engine? I'm going to look at a 67 for sale. Anything particular to worry about for this year? (Besides the normal things.) Thanks! Dave d

- I think the five mains started coming out in 1968. So the '67 should have a three main (unless it is a late car - look for reverse lights, a late-in-the-year addition). Of course, the car will have a

- OK, here we go :>) I firmly believe that the five mains started in 1968, or at least for sure not 1965! Now you're going to force me to reasearch this through the help of Dr. Bentley. I'll be back!!

- In 1964 the Austin 1800 block was introduced and in '65 the MGB engine was matched to it. If you need references check page 64 of "MGB - The Illustrated History" by Wood & Burrell and page 116 of Joh

- Unless I am mistaken.... I think they started using the 5 main engine in sept of 1964 (1965 model year). The quickest way to tell them apart is that the 3 main engine has a drive for a mechanical tac
