        Mike:

        Lots of fun photos. But I must whine a bit...

        Why no pictures of the racing motor? We all want to see the
where the 
nickname Tiger comes from =;-)

The only time I ever saw seat recession was on the '91 SCCA nation
championship winning TR6. It had 16 to 1 compression and 1475 degree EGT
temps.
We blew a head gasket on the 10th lap and ran the remaining 8 laps
without any water in the engine. 

I have heard a lot of talk about installing hardened valve seats in
these engines. In my opinion even modified engines don't need them
unless you are planning on running without water or anti-freeze.

Some recent photos of a TR6 in action.
