I do the same as Steve. Made a rod shaped the same as the slot and hammer
it in. Squeeze out inside and outside. I use the Right Stuff everywhere,
especially will seal transmission cases.

I also have the center plug hole on the main oil galley tapped to install
an NPT adapter for the oil line from my accumulator.
Have the shop check the alignment of the mains and line hone if necessary.
Machine the center main cap to install a reinforcing strap.
Bottom tap all head stud holes.
Remove and tap the front and rear main oil galley plugs for flush-fit NPT
fittings. Have this done on the cylinder head cooling plug.
Remove the crank scroll and install a rear main seal conversion. Do not use
Indian Head Shellac on the felt seals.
Grind unnecessary casting material from the inside and outside of the
block, particularly in the cooling areas.
If needed, clean up the mating surfaces for the liner gaskets.

Hello All,
I disassembled my TR4 race car engine this past week. Last time I rebuilt
it was 1987. Last time I raced it was 1988. Probably had five or six race
weekends on the engine but its been sitting for almost twenty years! It is
amazing everything looks very good. Rod and Main bearings show minimal ware
and the same with the pistons and liners. G3 cam and followers including
head and valves all look good. Cam bearings look questionable...
So I plan on installing new cam bearings, Rods & Mains. Any suggestions as
to what brand and where to buy them?
I will deck the block. Any suggestions as to other machining I should do to
the block?
The crank looks fine but I haven't measured it yet. What clearances should
I run?
I do plan on balancing and polishing it.
Thanks for any input.
Steve and son Matthew
Florida TR4
