What's wrong with it? I've had good luck taking such motors to an "automotive electric" shop (look in the yellow pages) and getting rebuilds there.

Sounds like a good candidate for synthetics, then. Have the rings sealed well? Do you know whether there's a significant difference in synthetics? Yah, there can be, mostly in pour point and ash temp

Oh, of course. The racing suppliers are the logical place to go. Dave Bean has a really good supply of the British stuff too - anyone that's really interested in finding TRS (that's Trick Racing, uh,

My TR4 oil pressure is running quite close to what you describe here. I have heard several times now how easy it is to replace these bearings. Never having done it, I assume that means that the engin

The thrust washers on the four cylinder engine are not as much of a devil as the Triumph 6. If you're not going to touch the main caps (and you may not want to) I wouldn't bother. However, you *can*

This is a chronic problem on m/c units that are designed that way. There are some O rings that are meant to seal but usually don't. I use blue RTV to seal the whole assembly. Take it off, take it apa

If you're going to try to drop the diff without the exhaust (yes, it can be done) I *highly* recommend getting a helper. Lowering a diff by yourself with the exhaust out of the way is tough enough.
