Listers;
I am about to do my first bearing replacement on my 73 TR6 big end and con rod
bearings. I also need a new oil pump.
The oil pump is within spec as far as clearances, but the inner rotor has
horizontal wear lines across each ridge.
Does anyone know where I can buy just the inner parts of the Oil Pump, or do I
have to fork out $80+ for a new complete pump?
Also does anyone have any thoughts on Vanderveil Bearings as being the best?
or are other bearings just as good ?
I am planning on taking advantage of TRF winter parts sale and purchase my
bearings from them before the end of January, I hope they have Vanderveil
bearings in stock.
Also going to buy thrust washers; one set in standard thickness and one set
.005 oversized. My existing play was approx. .009" (as measured with feeler
gauge at the rear of the crankshaft between the crank and the rear thrust
washer, measuring the difference in gap loaded and unloaded using the clutch
pedal method).
