221. [TR] TR3 Dash gauge knurled nuts (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2011 08:12:53 -0700; I'm not certain they are all the same, but the post-60K TR3A fuel gauge I just checked appears to have 3BA threads. -- Randall; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01007.html (7,691 bytes)
222. [TR] interior insulation - TR3 (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2011 10:25:30 -0700; Not I. But I would be more impressed if they talked about R-value (how well it insulates) rather than how 'pure' the aluminum is. Pure aluminum is an awful metal, it's only usable when alloyed with; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01013.html (8,966 bytes)
223. [TR] Brake light - update (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2011 16:41:19 -0700; Nope, doesn't work that way. What happens when one fixture is not grounded is that the current flows one filament to the bulb shell, then because that is not grounded, it goes back through the other; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01024.html (8,323 bytes)
224. [TR] [Fot] Fw: new oil infor (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2011 18:13:27 -0700; I was just looking at Valvoline's web site, and it lists only one "Valvoline Specialty Racing Oil (Not Street Legal)" (which does not say "VR1"). http://tinyurl.com/6hegkdb But it apparently has the; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01027.html (8,086 bytes)
225. [TR] Camshaft selections - TRactor Engines (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2011 22:45:23 -0700; You should contact Larry (through the web site), as he does sell TR2-4 cams from time to time. In fact I posted on here the last time he mentioned he was having a run made, but the response was minim; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01031.html (9,745 bytes)
226. [TR] Electric Fuel pump tr3a (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2011 10:37:46 -0700; The idea is that it is safer to have some device to stop the pump in case of an accident. Of course you also want it controlled by the ignition switch (so it doesn't run with the switch off), and IMO; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01052.html (8,497 bytes)
227. [TR] TR2 stuck rings update - appears that AC Delco product works (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2011 14:10:37 -0700; Nope, that's just perfect. Congratulations on getting it running! BTW, the 'correct' setting for the valves depends on whether you have aluminum or cast iron rocker shaft pedestals. I believe a TR2; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01061.html (8,220 bytes)
228. [TR] Camshaft selections - TRactor Engines (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2011 14:17:34 -0700; I disagree. They've got great big counterweights, as befits a TRactor motor. And Loctite comes in formulas that will withstand up to 650F continuously. If your rods are getting that hot, the problem; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01062.html (9,386 bytes)
229. [TR] Camshaft selections - TRactor Engines (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2011 16:37:22 -0700; Hmm. With overdrive, stock diameter tires and a 3.7 diff, 4000 rpm comes to 97 mph. I guess you do pass most of the traffic! <g> -- Randall; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01066.html (9,789 bytes)
230. [TR] Camshaft selections - TRactor Engines (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2011 23:49:20 -0700; So your problem is not lack of performance at high rpm at all. That's less than 3000 rpm, not even to the torque peak with the factory cam. A wilder camshaft isn't likely to improve much on power/to; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01071.html (9,415 bytes)
231. [TR] Camshaft selections - TRactor Engines (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2011 00:19:47 -0700; Well, I'm always willing to be edumacated. You mean something like this? http://tinyurl.com/4yuvfpn (A GM Quad 4 crank on eBay) It's got more main bearings (of course), but I see the same number of; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01072.html (9,530 bytes)
232. [TR] Payen (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2011 09:23:55 -0700; My understanding is that Payen has quit making gaskets for the TR2-4 motor. You might be able to find some still on the shelf, though. -- Randall; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01076.html (7,272 bytes)
233. [TR] tr3a tail light wiring (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 09:52:22 -0700; IMO Yes, you should fabricate a ground harness. The factory did rely on the mounting screws and they are far from secure, especially since the screw only goes into a clip nut (rather than into the me; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01095.html (7,636 bytes)
234. [TR] FW: Wiper/Panel Switch Placement TR3 (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 11:25:37 -0700; Carl, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I meant to check some things when I got home last night, but the TR didn't want to cooperate and I didn't get home until after midnight. Anyway, I see yo; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01098.html (8,496 bytes)
235. [TR] British Car Publication CDs (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 11:30:48 -0700; Actually, the bit that doesn't work came from Israel. And as a computer programmer, I can appreciate that it's really tough to write code that is compatible with one buttock operating systems that d; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01099.html (8,947 bytes)
236. [TR] TR2/3 control head installation. (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 17:45:15 -0700; Might be worth trying a trial assembly of the backplate into the steering wheel without it screwed to the control head. That way, you could see why the grub screws aren't grabbing it. -- Randall; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01105.html (7,475 bytes)
237. [TR] interior insulation - TR3 (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 11:08:36 -0700; Just a thought, have you tried using a different ignition coil? My nearly-new Lucas Sports coil has apparently gone thermally intermittent: it works (more or less) when cold, but the spark gets prog; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01121.html (9,079 bytes)
238. [TR] TR3A Blown Head Gasket (Again) (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 13:53:41 -0700; You might be thinking of Mordy Dunst, who runs GasketWorks: http://www.headgasket.com/ However, just for clarity, I did not buy a head gasket from Mordy. Instead I added copper "fire rings" to a sto; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01128.html (9,345 bytes)
239. [TR] Tr3 Dash Switches? (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2011 16:45:38 -0700; In case you are wondering George, the factory always punched the holes in the sheet metal. If the heater and/or OD were not fitted, they just left the holes covered with vinyl. At least that was true; /html/triumphs/2011-07/msg00384.html (7,719 bytes)
240. [TR] Oil Cooler (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Sat, 2 Jul 2011 15:49:43 -0700; Well, sorta. As you pointed out, you really want to have a thermostat, so the oil gets warm enough to boil off condensation, reduce sludge, etc. So unless you are going racing, generally the thermos; /html/triumphs/2011-07/msg00391.html (8,008 bytes)
