Where labor overlaps, replace the seals and gaskets for anything you open up; a timing job should always include the tensioner and guides, not just the belt or chain.
What do the market flags (US, CA, MX) on each part mean?
They show the market for which the manufacturer published application data for that part — where the vehicle was first sold, not where the part was made. If your 1974 Morris Minor was originally sold in the US, the safest choice is a part marked for the US market.
How do I make sure a part fits my 1974 Morris Minor?
Every part on this page already fits all 3 engine options (1.1L L4, 848cc L4 and 998cc L4). Then engine hard parts are unforgiving of guesswork — confirm the casting or engine code before ordering, because one model year can hide two different blocks. The notes column carries position and trim qualifiers where they apply.
