- I'm trying to diagnose an issue I'm having with my TR6. I took the TR on a fairly lengthy trip recently and was having problems with #2 fouling out. I've always had issues with #2 and thought that a

- Have you "rounded up the usual suspects"? Check the plug gaps? Verified that the #2 plug is the same type as the others, and verified the heat range of the plugs? The compression check says that the

- Hey Vance, Plug gaps - checked, rechecked, fresh plugs installed. Emissions - my car really has had no emissions stuff on it in years. Up until yesterday the crankcase was venting to the atmosphere.
