 Thanks indeed for those who've given me advice on how to rebuild my '60 TR3
engine as I am not a mechanic- (although one in training!)

Although I've only managed to remove the valve springs from #1 cylinder
thusfar, I've noticed an error on someone's part.  My Haynes TR3 manual says
that the exhaust valve in my car only has two springs on it, while the intake
valve has three springs.  However, on my engine it seems to be the reverse of
this.  (But then again, I've only removed the two valve springs thusfar.)
What's correct?  Is it true for a similar engine (that I'm using for parts out
of a '66 TR4?)

Thanks,
Paul Dorsey
