Bmc 1.5 Cylinder Head Wanted


Recommended Posts

Does anyone have a serviceable / suitable for refurb cylinder head for BMC 1.5? Had an unfortunate accident removing the old heat exchanger and broke the outside of the casting around the thermostat housing. Still looking into possibility of a repair.

Fitting a Bowman BL180 manifold / tank. A connection diagram would also be handy if anyone has one.

Thanks in advance.

You may find it was already cracked before you tried to remove it.  These old heat exchangers are only held on by three small studs and they were a "natural" for people to stand on when working in the engine compartment. I would have thought it should be a simple matter for a firm to do a weld in this area and then, as you say, fit a Bowman side mounted heat exchanger.
