[Healeys] Engine Blanking Plate

[Michael MacLean]

 Something similar on the four cylinder block.  I am sure there is  factory cover for this opening in the block, but I did not have one with the block that was given to me as a basis for my engine build.  David at British Car Specialists makes up plates just for this purpose.  Unless you are doing a concours restoration, David's plate will work just fine.  In fact I just installed mine.  Here it is before painting.Mike MacLean

Hello

  

Attached is a photo of the first six-cylinder C26W engine fitted to an Austin-Healey (BN3/1) that shows the plate towards the front.

  

The engine has since been rebuilt and is back in the car.

Yes Harold, The earlier 6 cylinder engines used this blanking plate to cover the fuel pump hole.

Full disclosure the attached picture is not my engine but mine should look similar some day. On the side of the block there is a mounting point for a fuel pump just to the left of the SP casting mark. It looks like versions of this engine block used in other cars had a cam driven fuel pump. I am interested to know the size of the hole in the block for the cam driven pump and if BMC ever supplied a blanking plate to cover the hole. Part number appreciated if it exists.

 



 

Thanks in advance.... Harold
