Hi all,
since where on the subject of manuals, can anyone tell me if the Bentley manual
actually has more info or is better in some way than the Triumph issued factory
repair manuals. Also where can the Bentley manual be sourced from. I'm actually
in Australia if that helps.
Thanks to all,
Joe Santamaria

Wayne,
I'd invest the $35 or so for a Bentley manual. There are small points in
the Bentley manual that aren't covered in the Haynes and vice versa. The
Bentley manual gives some technical info, such as clearance and torque
values that aren't in the Haynes book that more than make up for the
cost.

Hi,
I have decided to re-build my engine myself, after looking at my worn
crankshaft and bearings. The bearing and crank have grooves (like an old
45
record). I have owned the car for 20 years and I have restored
everything on
the car except the engine internals. I was told if the crank is worn ,
then
the camshaft is probably gone too.
I have never re-built an engine before, but I am confident that I can do
it
and I do not trust any local mechanic to work on my LBC.
I'm looking for a step by step document, book or web site that will show
me
a rebuild on a TR6 (I have a 1973 with twin ZS carbs).
I have a Haynes Workshop Manual, I have heard a lot of talk about the
Bentley Manual, is the Bentley Manual better as far as step by step
instruction for an engine re-build?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
