BMC 1.5 BMC 1500 Diesel Engine Build Pt1 Intro

[@STX-BTC]

Quick Question, Would the clutch kit be the same for the petrol and diesel Oxford, i own a 16/60 that has a BMC 1.5 Diesel which is the same as what was in the Oxford VI so i was just wondering if i was to get a clutch for it would the petrol 16/60 be the same clutch. Thanks.

The original automotive clutch would have been removed in order for the marinised drive plate to be attached. This is all dependent on what gearbox you have.

@@jonesmaintenanceservices4987 i can only guess the gearbox is a 4 speed wolseley which would of been married to the 1.6 B series or it could have Morris Oxford gearbox from the diesel VI Oxford but i wouldn't know one if it ran over me.

@alan-xs3kq I'd be surprised if the automotive gearbox is in there. Not saying I haven't seen them on the narrow boats.
