Hi Andrew welcome to the forum. There are loads of steam enthusiasts on here and of you need any help just ask. What does a RF engineer do.

Hello an welcome Andrew. Like Steviegtr, I am interested in the Morris although I was always more into Austin 7s.

Ah! take out the engine to speed up setting valve clearances!

My brother had one; as did my father for a while, in 1947, waiting for his new car to arrive.

Both had wire wheels, rather than the pressed steel disc wheels on the later ones.

I believe that it needed three spanners, unless you put a plate between adjacent cam followers to prevent then from turning while you actually made and locked the adjustment.

At least on the Series E you could access the tappets through a panel in the front whee archl. Didn't stop me dropping a valve collet into the sump! Fortunately, the local dealer had one, so maybe it was not unusual

Taught me to block the drain holes with rag!
