I bought my 1.5 last November and am gradually getting to know it and work through issues.
The previous owner said the engine had been rebuilt although he had no receipts or details of work done. It has good oil pressure and compression readings and looks good. However, the vibration levels are very high which makes me think it wasn't properly balanced when built.
I don't want to take the car off the road for too long so I'm considering finding a spare engine to put in while mine is stripped and balanced, or rebuilding a spare engine to put in instead.
If anyone has a spare Riley 1.5 or 3 bearing MGB engine I'd be glad to discuss terms. I am in Stockport.
Cheers, Jonathan
