I've some problems with a TR6 race engine : the engine is pinking and
overheating. Compression ratio is 12.5. Comparing the cylinderhead of this
engine with another 6 cylinder head (probably also from a TR6 , but from a
Triumph saloon is also possible) : it turns out that my cylinderhead is lacking
5 coolant passages. My cylinderhead has only a passage just beneath outlet port
no 6. The other cylinderhead has passages beneath every outlet port. I didn't
know of this difference between 6 cylinder heads. Does anyone know which cars
do have which cylinderheads? Can I add these passages on my cylinderhead,
hoping for better cooling? I've been working on this engine now and then since
2 years. It belongs to a racecar a friend of mine has built. He has lost
interest in this racing project and I bought the car. I'd like to see it on a
racetrack some day.
