Facebook Group Discussions

We established a Facebook Group some time ago and there’s a live forum for discussions and questions on all things MG. The Facebook Group is open to anyone with an interest in MGs and a membership in the North American MGB Register is not required to participate. However, we hope you will take advantage of everything the club has to offer, and if you find the Facebook Group helpful/useful you’ll support the club by becoming a member.

Below is a sample of the recent posts and discussions taking place. Feel free to join in the discussions!

So I got a new valve cover. My old one has this tube coming out the top. I think it is a vent line? Wondering if I can get rid of this since new cover has a vented cap? Thoughts?

Answer: yes.

I have this valve cover it spits oil. Desmogged 76

The tube in the valve cover is to allow air to enter the engine from the evaporative canister. The vented filler cap should be enough to replace the air flow from that inlet. If not, and you start getting oil mist out of the cap, you can drill a hole in the back of the new cover, install a hose barb, and connect it back up. The other issue is the charcoal evaporative canister. If it’s working right, the disconnected hose could allow gas fumes into the engine bay. You may want to vent it into a catch can.

Yes

Your plumbing is non- original. Someone already got "creative". You probably need to do some research.

I wouldnt get vented cover

This is what my ‘80 looks like. HTH

I vented the cast aluminum valve cover for my Magnette with a 3/8” npt hose nipple.

I have that same cover with vented cap on it. It works fine for me. I plugged the opening in the charcoal canister.

Advertising from when it all began for the MGB. The earliest ad we've seen seems to be 1963. Got anything from 1962?

1980

November 1962 Road & Track featured the MGB - including the ad shown above. I bought one the next Spring. Same color (Iris Blue).

Pages 51-54 November 1962.

Another gorgeous work day in DFW. Mid-70°s and not a cloud in the sky so Carter gets to co-pilot again. We'll do a little over 300 miles today. NRH ➡️ Colleyville ➡️ Frisco ➡️ Prosper ➡️ McKinney ➡️ Sherman ➡️ Greenville ➡️ Wylie and back to NRH. If "work" is driving a classic top-down, great music, and man's best friend next to you, is it really "work?" #greatestjob #mgblife

Keeping up with our "travel to convention" theme we'll do a little series from the All Register 5 year event in Reno for MG 2011. To get in on MG 2023 in Calgary - there's still plenty of time. See namgbr.org/events/mg-2023-calgary/ for the fun that is planned 17-20 July 2023 in Calgary. The fun you'll have getting there and back you'll need to plan that. 😉 (Post

6 to wrap up - Rock Springs to St. Louis - chased across CO and KS by a severe storm.)

After being plagued with oil leaks for several years I put in 20/50 Valvoline with zinc. No more oil leaks!!! This stuff really works!

My B still leaks with 20W-50, but it’s much slower and I rarely - actually, never - have to add oil between changes. I use Lucas Oil Hot Rod & Classic and I’ve never had an issue.
