Smokey Yunick's book is pretty good, too (mostly for V8s, but plenty of goo=

Hi,
Is there a book out there on rebuilding BMC C-Series engines? Preferably, A=
H 3000 engines!
The book would hopefully show one what to look for, options regarding perfo=
rmance parts and modifications that needed to be done by specialists. ie, I=
 don=E2=80=99t want to get near the end of some rebuild process and then be=
 told that part number xyz needs to go off to the lab to be machined to the=
 nearest nanowotsit and have platinum inserts installed. If you see what I =
mean!
Maybe something one stage up from =E2=80=9CEngines for Dummies=E2=80=9D=E2=
=80=A6=E2=80=A6..
I have looked on Google and, so far, failed.
Yes, I=E2=80=99ve got the manuals.
Thanks,
Simon

Hello, Sarah,

I will try to find the page over the weekend.

But Carroll said basically something like this:  =E2=80=9CLucas =
electrics are NFG and I do not intended to discuss them any =
further=E2=80=9D.

=20

I=E2=80=99ve had a quick look this morning but cannot find it.  =
I=E2=80=99ll have a better look over the weekend.  If I find it =
I=E2=80=99ll scan the page and post it.

=20

To be honest, I=E2=80=99ve been using Lucas electrics for 50 years and =
I=E2=80=99ve had no problems that weren=E2=80=99t created by ME, taking =
them for granted.  And even then, they were minor.

Prepare to Win, page 152 attached.  Part of the chapter on Electrics, 
Instruments, Fuel Cells.  Doesn't like Lucas in general and the master 
cutoff switches and distributors in particular.

Interesting that he doesn't believe in using fuses. Or electronic 
ignitions, which are in pretty much every car built today. Modern 
ECU/COP systems--with no moving parts--are vastly superior to points and 
distributors, but less fixable to us shadetree mechanics.

To say he's 'Old School' would be an understatement.

Bob,

Probably not too old school when the book was published in 1975.

True dat. Electronic ignitions were still new age at that time; I had a 
'79 Subaru that had electronic points, which looked like a Pertronix 
module, and it went 175K miles with no ignition issues.

I had a 1974 Jaguar XJ6 with Lucas Opus ignition.  It failed within the
first 100 miles and gave constant trouble with numerous flatbed rides to
the dealer until I traded it in 1975 with less than 5000 miles on it.

          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; In the World of A Series engines, the “Bible”
          is Vizards book.<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; “Tuning the A Series Engine”<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; I’d recommend it wholeheartedly because most
          of the principles <br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; apply to B series and C Series BMC engines.<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; I keep a copy beside my bed.<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Mostly because I’m an insomniac.<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; 😂<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; But also because when I have those things
          racing around in my mind <br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; at 3.00am, I can check the book....<br>

          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;     Is there a book out there on rebuilding
          BMC C-Series engines?<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;     Preferably, AH 3000 engines!<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;     The book would hopefully show one what to
          look for, options<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;     regarding performance parts and
          modifications that needed to be<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;     done by specialists. ie, I don’t want to
          get near the end of some<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;     rebuild process and then be told that
          part number xyz needs to go<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;     off to the lab to be machined to the
          nearest nanowotsit and have<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;     platinum inserts installed. If you see
          what I mean!<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;     Maybe something one stage up from
          “Engines for Dummies”……..<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;     I have looked on Google and, so far,
          failed.<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
          &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;     Yes, I’ve got the manuals.<br>

For whatever reason the "common wisdom" is to NOT install fuses in race
cars.  I dunno why.  That said, I have them in my race cars (Ginetta G4 and
Elva MK IV) and each DC appliance on my Healey is separately
fused, including the headlights. *(Yes, David, I know, I know!)*

&gt;&gt; =E2=80=9CTuning the A Series Engine=E2=80=9D<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I=E2=80=99d recommend it wholeheartedly because most of the princi=
ples apply <br>
&gt;&gt; to B series and C Series BMC engines.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; I keep a copy beside my bed.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; Mostly because I=E2=80=99m an insomniac.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; =F0=9F=98=82<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; But also because when I have those things racing around in my mind=
 at <br>
&gt;&gt; 3.00am, I can check the book....<br>

&gt;&gt; =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Hi,<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Is there a book out there on rebuilding BMC C-S=
eries engines?<br>
&gt;&gt; =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Preferably, AH 3000 engines!<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 The book would hopefully show one what to look =
for, options<br>
&gt;&gt; =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 regarding performance parts and modifications t=
hat needed to be<br>
&gt;&gt; =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 done by specialists. ie, I don=E2=80=99t want t=
o get near the end of some<br>
&gt;&gt; =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 rebuild process and then be told that part numb=
er xyz needs to go<br>
&gt;&gt; =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 off to the lab to be machined to the nearest na=
nowotsit and have<br>
&gt;&gt; =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 platinum inserts installed. If you see what I m=
ean!<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Maybe something one stage up from =E2=80=9CEngi=
nes for Dummies=E2=80=9D=E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6..<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 I have looked on Google and, so far, failed.<br=
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Yes, I=E2=80=99ve got the manuals.<br>
&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt; =C2=A0=C2=A0=C2=A0 Thanks,<br>
