some reason I decided to check my valve clearances and found two valves
had no
gap at all. (valve seat recession?) I regapped the valves and the miss
went away.
Thanks Dave and all that responded. I was and am concerned that the Six
needs a valve job. 45,000 miles on the clock still a factory build. I will
start with the propane to find a vacuum leak then on to the valves for
adjustment. I suppose a problem with the valves would show up on a
compression
test. Exhaust valve recession would cause a lean condition, correct?
Anyway I was not aware of the Moss Hi-Performance gaskets and just ordered two
of them.
Hope it's something simple, I have the Six registered for the VTR National
Convention on Jekyll Island in a few weeks since the TR6 is the featured
marque. Always something! I suppose I can take another car. Ugly, the 76
VE Edition TR7, comes to mind. I bet those southern folks would get a kick
out of them Spoker Rims on her. Of course she autox's like a pig. Oh well
easy class to run in too.
