First question, what temperature does your thermostat actually open? The high gradient would seem to indicate lack of flow through the radiator for some reason; which could be anything from thermost

I agree (assuming the outside temperature wasn't -40). I see about a 20 degree drop (185 vs 165) on my '59 under similar circumstances. Geo _______________________________________________ Support Tea

I'm interested in a Triumph in the Two Rivers, Wisconsin area, and would like to know if there are any listers in that area that might be able to lend me their eyes for a vehicle check. I mostly nee

Given you have a head with issues -- not you, the car B ;^) -- I would strongly suggest that you replace the valve springs, as Randall suggested. If everything else about the head is to be gone over

Wow, Geo. That's quite considerate of you to offer it to me. But don't trouble yourself over it. I already have a workshop manual -- I just need to learn how to use it! :b Todd Richmond Fort Collins,

Very good points. I've already bought new pistons, liners, valves, valve guides, timing chain, and a bunch of other stuff. It's likely I'll need a new camshaft before I'm done as well. I was just ho

Gary, Since I am a TR6 NEWBE (FNG for all you military types) I dont know if this applies to the 6, but on the 3 and 4 engines the manual says to re-torque the head after break in. Also re torque the

Hey Gary, I think you have to give the motor more time for break-in. What oil are you using? Keep away from Synthetics during break-in. Re-check valve lash, timing & re-torque the head. Check the com

One time-honored test is to squirt a small amount of oil into each cylinder just before checking compression on that cylinder. If the reading goes up a lot, the problem was rings. If it only rises a

You got some good answers but I'll throw out one other point usually made in discussions on this subject. A 20lb difference isn't really all that much. Also the observed compression depends on how we

I guess it depends on what you count as a "rib". I just looked at an early Stag box (which I believe is the same casting as the late TR6 box I had on the TR3A) and it has maybe a dozen things I woul

If that 'webbing' is the same type as on my TR250, it is kind of a rubber with cloth reinforcement molded inside. Sort of like very thin tire side walls! I believe I ordered it from TRF. The termina

I definitely would recommend removing the engine from the car! The reason you can't get the liners out is rust and crud from close to 50 years of DPO neglect. At least that was the case with my '58
