Hello,
I have a build-your-own-boat (a large steel hull with a BMC diesel engine (don't know the type) in it). I would like to know a lot more about this particular engine, but I don't have any information about it. Now, it seems that it is a rather simple engine (around 1970-1975), but I would like to know a little more. Does anyone know or have a digitized version of the manuals of BMC diesel engines around that age?
I hope to hear more, thanks in advance.
With kind regards,
Ronald. |

G'day,
I have the workshop manual for the tempest series of BMC's, This covers the 3.8, 5.1, and 5.7 liter marine conversionsn of that period.
It is only in hard copy, but if it is of use to you I'll take a minute and scan it.
Cheers Sam |

Hi Ronald,
Was also looking for some information from an old Tempest series BMC. Wonder if you ever got a copy of anything from Sam, could I get a copy from you of this also by email ? |

Hello Sam,
Yes, that would certainly be a great help. I was half hoping to do a part overhaul on my sons boat engine while the good weather is lasting over this side of the atlantic. The electronic copy would be great as a quick read now before striping might save a few problems later.
Broadband here so no problem downloading material.
Thanks & Regards - Patrick. |

G'day patrick,
I'll start scanning it asap,
The workshop manual has all the info you will need for an overhaul.

Does anyone have a BMC 2.2 manual they could share? Amongst other things I've discovered the engine in my narrowboat (keel cooled) doesn't have a thermostat and I would like to know what the correct temperature should be. Any help appreciated! |

Can anyone tell me how old and what my engine is please. It is a BMC 4 cyl marine diesel and has a rocker cover just like on my old mini. The engine serial number plate has the following (bit rusty so I may not have read all the details correctly)

Purge the fuel system and add fresh fuel
Then New batteries
My guess is that it starts up if there isnt water in the fuel system
Please note an oil change is in order also |

hi to everyone could anyone email me the BMC manual for the 5.7 lump seems a popular engine still .Dont know about the gasket but maybe LDV trucks as the inheritors of the leyland empire may have parts as this would have been a lorry engine as well they did have bits for the 1.8 BL aka BMC sherpa diesel a couple of years back |

hi roger with the studs removed the pump body should just pull out sounds as tho the seal and or bearings have gone west where are you located/ as i could put you on to a engineer in the uk who could renew it if you cant get a replacement part. tho peatland exports will no doubt have bits |

in answer to montrose re bmc 2.2 no smoke out your zorst means no diesel getting in engine at injectors tho you said youd bled them off. ive got a 5.7 and had 4 1.8\sbmcs good motors! on the 1.8 inj pump are several bleed points which if not bled the motor just wont go 2.2 may be the same let me know how you get on, my neighbour next berth has a bmc 2.2 will see if she has manual tho she doesnt live aboard so dont hold your breath |
