Morris Marina Ital 1.7 Distributor

[johnsamharte]

Hi Guys.!
I have an Oil leak where my Distributor enters the Engine...
I can’t seam to find an Oil Seal for a Morris Marina Ital 1.7 anywhere in EBay, so I presume I am using the wrong wording in my Search. It’s an original Dizzy.
can anyone help me sourcing this elusive item.?
thanks in anticipation.
John.

Try the 'Distributor Doctor UK' . He has all manner of parts.

I's been a while since I worked on that engine, but I think it has a Lucas 45D4 Dizzy.
If so, a Lucas 45D4? If so you probably will get that part from minispares, the MG owners club , Moss europe or possibly ebay.

The first mini had a 25D4, then in the late 70's a 45D4.

here's what minispares list , but check it is for a 45D4.

The body of the 45D4 was also used on the classic mini , so the O ring should be the same.

Also check that your engine breather is clear , iirc it used to have a black metal tube which had wire mesh inside that used to clog up, with mayonaise or carbon/oil. Try cleaning it out with petrol and an airline .
