[Healeys] Engine block question

[David Nock]

The later BJ8 blocks the dip stick is in a different location, also there is an extra bracket on the timing chain that stops some of the chain slack oposite the tensioner. Also there was a change in oil pumps.

Subject: [Healeys] Engine block question

We have had a discussion about pistons etc recently, but can anybody enlighten me as to the difference between the 29D block and E & F varieties, apart from camshafts which are interchangeable anyway?

I have been informed that the earlier crankshafts are more desirable owing to a higher steel content than the later ones.

Or is it just BMC sticking another plate to designate the different model car it was fitted to?
