New To MG World

As a collector/restorer/and avid driver of fun stuff, I had to have the top selling British sports car of all time. I found a nice example MGBGT in a barn, on a ranch in great Falls MT. It was immaculate and in great shape. It was badly in need of a tune-up, had good oil pressure and compression so I loaded it up. Upon more drives I noticed the oil pressure intermittently dropping then back up again etc until I lost it all together fortunately without any serious damage to block etc. In the rebuild my mechanic and I discovered the wrong oil pump had been used with a shorter shaft that was just barely catching the cam and sometimes it would not. She runs good now but still not the performer I am used to with my other cars. I have decided to sell my nice little stock car and build-up a SCCA competition car. Always seeking a new project. Glad to have the opportunity to visit this site.
