Paul sez:
"I just read, in the service manual, that the head should be removed every
15000 miles for "decarbonization." How did Triumph manage to get buyers to
accept this?"
That's easy; they probably ignored it. Look in the owner's manual for any
car you own and see how much of the recommended service you have actually
done, especially if you've owned the car for a long time. How often do you
flush the cooling system or change the brake fluid? Most people do not
maintain their cars "by the book". Those of us that have taken these cars
under our wings are paying for the years of neglect by DPO's.
