[Spridgets] 1275 timing chain cover

I don't have a spare one but yes the 1275 needs a lower crank vent the earlier versions vented at the tappet chest covers. They do not need a canister only a vent. With out the canister you may vent a little more oil. In a Morris Minor the extra length is a problem as the canister needs a spacer for the fan to clear. So a tube added to a early cover works.

Might anyone on the list have a spare timing chain cover?
Just to verify it needs to have the canister attached to it
I believe the 1275 motor was the only one to have that feature
Please contact me off list at
