I went to Indy, buy not in an MG. Enjoyed myself. Met some other people who
went without MGs. The current theory on the TD is a sticky valve on no. 4
cylinder. The noise has gone away and the compression has gone from 30psi to
100psi. The more I drive it the better the compression gets, but if it does not
get back to 120psi, where it started, I will have the engine rebuilt. I am 
trying some Marvel Mystery Oil in the gas and crankcase.
