    Like many of your commentators, I owned an MGB roadster. It had been rebuilt and was a delight to drive. Thank you for keeping the marque alive through your amazing engineering skills. I too would love to see the twin engine builds and see the difference in performance.

    In the US, what you've done to the MG engine is sometimes referred to as "Blueprinting". A friend of mind had it done to the Bugeye Sprite that he raced. I never realized all that it entailed until your excellent video. Thank you.

    Great educational video James. I had just started assembling my 1971 mgb engine in Oct. 2022 when I found your channel. I did not have the crank balanced but I did buy a scale and matched the weight of the piston/rod assemblies with no grinding needed. Two were identical in weight, one was a gram lower and one was a gram higher. Engine runs smooth as an electric motor. I really enjoy your videos. North Carolina USA😊

    Curious if you’ve had experience with the MSX crossflow head. I’d like to disprove the naysayers that this head can make power and be reliable.

    • @graceenginedevelopments
      @graceenginedevelopments  5 місяців тому +3

      I haven’t but I would be happy to test one. I have fitted an HRG crossflow head to a 1622 race engine for a friend, that’s still going strong and had a few class wins, I’ve attached the link just in case you would like to watch. ua-cam.com/video/poMZdg97Tho/v-deo.htmlsi=jOTwj0Cl8smeRGfK

    I think for thise 2 engines, one completely standard with new parts, the other all out race engine, just to show the difference in what is done, and the difference in power

    • @graceenginedevelopments
      @graceenginedevelopments  5 місяців тому +1

      Thanks mate.. yes I agree.. might put a mild road cam in it just to make it more saleable.. or even raffle it.

    • @blakeperkins8717
      @blakeperkins8717 5 місяців тому +1

      Yeah, my initial thoughts would be to show how much a standard engine can be improved on, but you're right, better can makes it more interesting to a buyer. Will be good to see in any case

  • @davidball9815

  • @robbending3848
    @robbending3848 5 місяців тому +1

    I guess your MGB series engines are both 5-main bearing varieties?
    If they're both similar state of repair, how about treating both similarly re: balancing & cam profile / timing, but put a recent crossflow head on one as a comparator.
    THAT would be a definitive crossflow answer to a perennial b-series question.
    Keep up the great content.

    • @graceenginedevelopments
      @graceenginedevelopments  5 місяців тому

      Hi Rob. Yes both are 5 bearing.. I'll see if I can get a crossflow heads and back to back, I've now ordered bits for the more modified one..

      The serdi came with some other machines we bought, we are gathering tooling for it. But will probably sell it to be honest we have 2 good seats cutters

    Is it really necessary to balance these small non performance engines, does it make a noticeable difference?

  • @h0wardl0vegr0ue9
    @h0wardl0vegr0ue9 5 місяців тому +1

    Just find this interesting, but why are the rods and piston heads not balanced before they are boxed and dispatched.

    • @graceenginedevelopments
      @graceenginedevelopments  5 місяців тому +1

      Thank you. Most pistons need a little.. the rods are old and always need work

    MGB. When you have to take 10 thou off the head to true it up , what’s the effect on the compression ratio and is any compensation required?

    • @graceenginedevelopments
      @graceenginedevelopments  5 місяців тому +1

      Thank you... 0.010" on a std engine won't need any compensation.. depending on the bore and stroke etc will depend on what difference it makes..
