I'm in the process of putting the pieces back together and have a couple of
questions. First, I'm not too sure that I've got the original engine. The
car is a 61 TR4 (CT133). The engine number is somewhere around 38000. I
would think that a 61 would have a lower number engine. Also, from what I've
read, the early TR4 did not have bearings pressed in for the camshaft to ride
on. Well this engine definitely has those bearings. Can anyone confirm my
suspicions?
My next question has to do with something I found while cleaning up the
cylinder head. Between the number 2 and 3 cylinders there appears to be a
hairline fracture running between the openings for the water jacket. I don't
know how serious this could be. The head gasket would definitely cover this
and short of a blown head gasket, I don't think(hoping) it would not be a
problem. Has anyone else experienced anything like this and should I be
concerned?
Thanks
