Looks minty!  I still miss my 03 EVT.  A well sorted hydro is a peach of an engine!

+1 on that Dave. The hydro is probably the best motor MG ever produced and why they stopped is one that just doesn’t make good sense to me.

Agreed.  For MG to discontinue it after the painful $$$ process of finally perfecting it didn't make sense.

I drove Sheldon Abut's hydro aluminum sidecar rig back in the day, and was really impressed with the engine.
