anyone else with any info on the engine colour? hmm i havent seen 1 like it before

[Jammy]

How many mini engines have you seen?? :tongue:

I'm pretty sure red was the standard 1275 engine colour, carb or inj, ask Mini_sprocket or scurvy.

Where all Injection Dizzys there??? I thought injection has electronic ignition where dizzys wernt needed and was up near the head not down there where carb ones are... or am i being stupid.

SPIs have a normal dizzy,
MPIs have distributorless systems

[TJenkos]

Funny how the numberplates change???

[Jammy]

Dizzy is still needed I think. As for the think about being near the head, I can only think your getting mixed up with the alternator? This was mounted on the head on MPis?


I'm probably wrong though?

how about other engine? 998 can be red too?

Well it depends if its the original engine or not, chances are if you car is quite old its had a different engine at some point or at least its engine re-painted.


Topic on engine colours from not too long back.

sorry for the thread pollution

[miniboo]
