Few years ago, Justin Wagner showed our local club how he had 'restored' the chrome on a TR4 OD switch using chrome foil available at art supply stores. The result looked very good. If you looked cl

Advertised top speed was 105-110 mph (depending on which source). But that was with 83mm liners, and most people have installed 87s by now, giving a boost in both displacement and compression ratio.

My TR6 handbook gives engine speed @ 10 mph as 482 rpm in 4th direct. So, at 3800 rpm, it would be doing (3800 / 482) * 10 = 78.8 mph. But the TR3 had smaller tires originally than the TR6 did. The

Sounds like you have the little Facet pump on there. A popular replacement, far more reliable (IMO) than the old SU pumps. No diaphragm and no contact points (which are two main weaknesses of a SU)

That would be the 3.45 ratio, used on TR5 & PI TR6. Only about 7% taller than the stock 3.7 TR4A ratio. As Bill said, not all GL5 rated oils have the additive that eats yellow metal. I've run Valvol
