My TR3A front plate was leaking pretty bad and I am taking the Christmas
break to straighten it out. I originally blamed the bottom bolts backing out
(which they had), but when I got into the engine I found that the front main
bearing block was sitting about 30 thousandths proud of the front of the block.
The bearing block was still torqued tight and I doubt that I let it slip by
when I rebuilt the engine about 8 years ago. Could something have made the
block migrate forward over the last 80,000 miles?
TIA,
Bill in Tehachapi
