Working on my ‘79 B was such a joy. A Straight forward and honest engine. Enjoy my time working on it as much as driving it. And the ‘work’ was just routine maintenance.

I love the obvious quality of this engine and how you can tell how it was built to last and it sounds lovely these older engines much better than newer engines

Thanks for not forwarding through the 'real time' stuff - it's much better as is.  I learned a few things here, as always with your videos.  Great stuff.

The MGB is growing on me.

I purchased, a brand new BSA motor cycle in 1969. Reg ended with 14G, making it registered in 1969.

Lovely example of a MGB Roadster in Teal blue 🫡 original interior could do with a little TLC under the bonnet 🤔

Just subscribed from Australia, due to your MGB service.
In April 2024, I bought a 1967 MGB GT in Sandy Beige (lovely colour used on the GT only) that I'd owned in the 1980s and sold in 1988 – the GT had come full circle after 36 years and is still in great shape! Your service has bought back a lot of memories which will assist me greatly. Another reason for going back to an MGB is their relative ease in servicing (as you prove) and price of parts etc. Another thing I loved about your service of the MGB was the sound of the pigeons in the background, it brought back a lot of memories as I lived there for many years after 1988 in the East Sussex countryside, many great memories.

3 years later and it rolls around again.  Those cast valve covers often allow the gasket to squirm free.  I like to use a smear of RTV where the gasket meets the cover and let it harden before placing the cover on the engine.

Those 1800 B series engines were easy to work on and were normally reliable old lumps.  
I owned a used Morris Marina 1.8 Special back in the 80s, with the same B series engine. It was a good car until some idiot crashed into the back of it on a roundabout and wrote it off.

I could honestly watch this video all day. A man servicing his own car, what's more an MGB. I've got my eye on one to buy as my "forever car" as I approach retirement. This is exactly what I would like to do. Great video!

I once did an oil and filter change on my Mk2 Astra and got sidetracked left the sump plug out. A gallon of genuine Vauxhall oil streaming down the drive! I wasn’t popular! 😂

I had a similarly aged “B” and your little video brought back some memories.   I’d forgotten how basic and simple they are.    One point, it’s a 1968 model, not ‘67 as mentioned in your commentary.

I'm on the way to buying my first B, and just doing some poking around to make sure I know what I'm signing up for, maintenance wise. This video was super helpful! Lovely and clear, and you've got great lighting and did a fantastic job focusing the camera on the small bits and really showing what you're talking about. Thank you for it!

Last tine I did this was 1981 when I sold my 1973 MGB after graduation from college.

The standard belt driven radiator fan consumes lots of power, especially at higher revs. For my 1967 MGB in about 1970 in Australia, I purchase from the UK an "Aerofan" which replaces the existing one, and the blades feather as the revs get higher. The difference in high end acceleration & top speed was amazing. Just one of the reasons all cars now have electric fans.
Thanks for the memories - nice little vid.

There is a gasket on both ends of the filter. The o ring goes in the goove the metal housing locates in.
Also, there's no o ring for the filter itself as the filter is designed to move. Under normal circumstances the spring holds it down, when it's blocked the filter rises allowing oil to bypass the filter so as not to seize the engine.

Great video enjoy and learned a lot👍🇦🇺

Just bought one of these and this video is cracking! Cheers!

Nice job, lovely MG!

Whats cool mate, ya didnt need to admit ya left the sump.plug undone, but ya did. Real right good fella. Love your whole way about ya
