I have a Leyland Mini 1000 engine and radiator sitting in the shed . It is an excellent motor but is jammed in gear. Started to get into it to free it up but have stopped at the flywheel. Am willing fo sell if you are interested to take it away.

LMFAO, that goes to exactly what i was saying 'bout the flywheel being a pain. If i had a dollar for every person i've seen or spoken to who was going to "re-build" their 'A' series motor but stopped at the flywheel, i'd have exactly $21.

The jammed in gear issue may be simple. There are 2 shafts coming out the back side of the 'box and sometimes the fittings that go on them strip, quite easy to fix.
It's too early to try to explain what i mean but smac will know & be able to explain better lol.
OP, i wouldn't worry 'bout the amount of Ks it's done, it's pretty irelevant on an 'A' series engine.

I bought the car for the engine which i put in a small truck,which worked well axcept for the gear shift linkage leading to the gear jamming. The car was used as a clown car for a touring car fun show and was badly dented . It was not registerd and was towed on a "A" frame. I have no idea of the milage. It , the engine,has been sitting in the shed for about 4 years. Just decided to get rid of it,thought I might btry fixing it and selling it but as you are so far away you can hve it for nothing, but moving it is your expense.

Now that's an offer the OP shouldn't refuse.
Good on ya mate.

hmmm.could be something as simple as a roll pin in the linkage, but it also be a broken selector fork with metal shredded through the engine.Kinda tough to trouble shoot remotely. As above, I'd suggest heading on over to ausmini.

cost doesnt seem to be an object. only a real expert could tell the difference between any of the A series engines, stick to the single carb as on 1300s & a cert would be rediculous (a technicality)
