Randall,

I had always heard that the camshaft and compression ratio were the primary
reasons that the TR5 was "dirty" and that North American customers didn't
get PI because the dealers disn't want to spend the money to train their
mechanics (who already knew how to tune Strombergs).  I wonder what the
"true" story was?
