the gasket and nip up each screw one at a time to make sure the pump was =

Funny =E2=80=93 I solved coolant issues earlier and yesterday.

Had to replace the thermostat housing gasket and yesterday I had to replace=
 the hose connecting the bottom radiator pipe to the waterpump.

A horrible job to do, as there is almost no space to work at the bottom of =
the radiator pipe.

Nut with a dry result!

Fully cleaned a clogged charcoal filter and renewed the charcoal particles.=

Replaced the oil filler cap and will renew the brake fluid tomorrow.

Then the GT should be roadworthy again.

Cheers,

Hans

Hi Friends,

   My TR6 rebuilt engine leaks coolant. Okay, its not an MG but the issue i=
s universal. Here's the short story.

   When reassembling the waterpump I made a newbie error. I got in a hurry =
and left out two bolts, some of the bolts that hold the pump body to the he=
ad. The coolant leak is through one of those bolt holes. The threaded hole =
drilling entered the head's water jacket and of course, leaks.

   I now have new bolts and I will apply sealant to the threads and place f=
iber sealing washers under the bolt heads. Doing so hopefully completes the=
 engine rebuild. I can then get back to replacing the top on my MG TD.

Rick

   Good work Hans! I too had a successful day at the shop. I replaced in
two bolts in the waterpump housing and the leak is gone! We brought the
engine up to temperature with (up to) 13# coolant pressure, and no leaks.
   I also found a small fuel leak at the intake of the fuel pump. A couple
of spannet twists put that right and dry. With that, we made a few laps
around the shop and all was still well.

  Good on both of you.
  Yesterday was an interesting day for me. Went out as passenger with a frie=
nd in his TF, stored a year or so.  It ran out of go at 2500 rpm, sputtering=
, bucking, etc, but would smooth out at 2000. =20
  Back at the garage, found the strangest stuff in the float chambers. One h=
ad a teaspoon of large chunks of solid material. The other had some of that,=
 plus a goo that looked like frog-egg liquid. =20
  The goo was easy enough to figure out, but as the chunks are far larger th=
an would pass through the SU carb banjo filters, the SU pump filter, the add=
itional filter he has in line, and the original screen filter in the tank, i=
t was a puzzle.  We could check banjo, pump and additional filter-none had a=
ny grit or sediment.=20
  Pump delivers the pint/minute quantity that workshop manual says.
  Engine runs better, but not much. I suspect that some of the sediment is i=
n the passage from float chamber to the jet, but we ran out of day yesterday=
.

Keep cleaning Bob. :-)

My TD and TR3b both had idle instability problems AND the higher speed
issues. I ended up putting Pertronix distributors in both cars and they ran
fantastic! The slow idle was perfect.

So check the timing with a timing light to see if it is stable.

   Sunday afternoon is our project day. I want to remove the tops of float c=
hambers again, the covers and pistons, and to try a bit of compressed air on=
 the jet to see if that will dislodge anything in the passage.  If not, we c=
an drop the jets out, but that is awkward on a TF, with its side panels diab=
olically placed to make any carb work difficult.
   It was this same friend who talked me into a Pertronix for my MGB, after h=
e had installed them in this TF and his MGA.   I did, and it improved the in=
accurate timing quite a bit. A couple of years later, I sent the distributor=
 to Advanced Distributors. Jeff wanted to know about the engine, its compres=
sion, camshaft, porting, polishing, etc, then curved the distributor to fit.=
  This engine runs very well now. Though he is not 100% sold on the Pertroni=
x, I keep it because setting dwell of the MGB is not as easy as in TD. =20
  Fuel, air, spark=E2=80=94we are working to get them all in proper proporti=
on.

   Good idea! I had forgotten that I have a set of the smaller sizes, from H=
F, purveyors of fine tools, and a couple of smaller ones that I use for clea=
ning hummingbird feeders. It will be the HF ones used on this project. Thank=
s for the reminder.

Good show Bob!

When checking the carbs, also verify any play on the butterfly shafts.

Especially at lower revs play causes false air taken into the carb, with ba=
d low speed driving as a result.

Cheers,

Hans

   Sunday afternoon is our project day. I want to remove the tops of float =
chambers again, the covers and pistons, and to try a bit of compressed air =
on the jet to see if that will dislodge anything in the passage.  If not, w=
e can drop the jets out, but that is awkward on a TF, with its side panels =
diabolically placed to make any carb work difficult.

   It was this same friend who talked me into a Pertronix for my MGB, after=
 he had installed them in this TF and his MGA.   I did, and it improved the=
 inaccurate timing quite a bit. A couple of years later, I sent the distrib=
utor to Advanced Distributors. Jeff wanted to know about the engine, its co=
mpression, camshaft, porting, polishing, etc, then curved the distributor t=
o fit.  This engine runs very well now. Though he is not 100% sold on the P=
ertronix, I keep it because setting dwell of the MGB is not as easy as in T=
D.  

  Fuel, air, spark=E2=80=94we are working to get them all in proper proport=
ion.

Keep cleaning Bob. :-)

My TD and TR3b both had idle instability problems AND the higher speed issu=
es. I ended up putting Pertronix distributors in both cars and they ran fan=
tastic! The slow idle was perfect. 

  Good on both of you.

  Yesterday was an interesting day for me. Went out as passenger with a fri=
end in his TF, stored a year or so.  It ran out of go at 2500 rpm, sputteri=
ng, bucking, etc, but would smooth out at 2000.  

  Back at the garage, found the strangest stuff in the float chambers. One =
had a teaspoon of large chunks of solid material. The other had some of tha=
t, plus a goo that looked like frog-egg liquid.  

  The goo was easy enough to figure out, but as the chunks are far larger t=
han would pass through the SU carb banjo filters, the SU pump filter, the a=
dditional filter he has in line, and the original screen filter in the tank=
, it was a puzzle.  We could check banjo, pump and additional filter-none h=
ad any grit or sediment. 

  Engine runs better, but not much. I suspect that some of the sediment is =
in the passage from float chamber to the jet, but we ran out of day yesterd=
ay.

Bob

   Good work Hans! I too had a successful day at the shop. I replaced in tw=
o bolts in the waterpump housing and the leak is gone! We brought the engin=
e up to temperature with (up to) 13# coolant pressure, and no leaks.

   I also found a small fuel leak at the intake of the fuel pump. A couple =
of spannet twists put that right and dry. With that, we made a few laps aro=
und the shop and all was still well.

   So important. Here's a trick, a Bandaid or plaster if you will, to get
you by if costly rebuilds are not an option. Fixing worn throttle shaft
bores with new bushings is a serious repair, and the correct way to fix the
vacuum leak. However, the following short term solution is to address the
symptom, not the problem.

   Disassemble all the linkage at the carburetors. Purchase a few felt
washers the size of the throttle shafts or a little smaller, and a tube of
laboratory vacuum grease, the stuff they use to seal vacuum leaks in
laboratory glassware. Saturate the felt washers with vacuum grease as well
as the shafts where they exit the carb body and slide the greased washers
up against the body. Place a flat washer on the shaft and reassemble the
linkage, pressing the flat washer gently against the felt washer. The flat
washer and linkage will hold the greased felt washer in place and the
vacuum grease will seal the vacuum leak!

   Vacuum grease is made to withstand a bit of heat but also, to not
'migrate'. It will stay in place rather than get sucked into the carb's
choke like regular grease would do (once hot). The felt washer also helps.

   Yes, this is a temporary fix, not a proper repair. But it is also a
$10 temporary
fix, not a $500 repair.

   A final word. Take care to reinstall the air chamber covers correctly
(Not interchanged!) and verify that the air pistons drop freely on to the
bridge with the dampers removed. Tighten the cover screws evenly working
around the carb until they are snug.

Good luck! You're on the right track.

   Thanks for this idea, and for introducing Laboratory Grease. Unknown to m=
e, I found it on Amazon for $6.75 the one ounce container.  That will be a h=
andy addition to the first-aid kit I keep.
  Fortunately, this engine=E2=80=99s carb shafts are snug. Carbs were rebuil=
t 10 years, 2500 miles ago, so the problem is not their shafts.=20
  I look forward to spending some time with it this weekend.

rote:
>    So important. Here's a trick, a Bandaid or plaster if you will, to get y=
ou by if costly rebuilds are not an option. Fixing worn throttle shaft bores=
 with new bushings is a serious repair, and the correct way to fix the vacuu=
m leak. However, the following short term solution is to address the symptom=
, not the problem.
>=20
>    Disassemble all the linkage at the carburetors. Purchase a few felt was=
hers the size of the throttle shafts or a little smaller, and a tube of labo=
ratory vacuum grease, the stuff they use to seal vacuum leaks in laboratory g=
lassware. Saturate the felt washers with vacuum grease as well as the shafts=
 where they exit the carb body and slide the greased washers up against the b=
ody. Place a flat washer on the shaft and reassemble the linkage, pressing t=
he flat washer gently against the felt washer. The flat washer and linkage w=
ill hold the greased felt washer in place and the vacuum grease will seal th=
e vacuum leak!
>=20
>    Vacuum grease is made to withstand a bit of heat but also, to not 'migr=
ate'. It will stay in place rather than get sucked into the carb's choke lik=
e regular grease would do (once hot). The felt washer also helps.
>=20
>    Yes, this is a temporary fix, not a proper repair. But it is also a $10=
 temporary fix, not a $500 repair.=20
>=20
>    A final word. Take care to reinstall the air chamber covers correctly (=
Not interchanged!) and verify that the air pistons drop freely on to the bri=
dge with the dampers removed. Tighten the cover screws evenly working around=
 the carb until they are snug.

 and the vacuum grease will seal the vacuum leak!</p><p style=3D"">&nbsp; &n=

A final word. Take care to reinstall the air chamber covers correctly (Not i=
nterchanged!) and verify that the air pistons drop freely on to the bridge w=

   I wrote earlier but will repeat it here. Put your timing light on the #1
plug wire and observe the timing mark. Is it steady at idle? If not, the
problem is probably in your distributor. When I rebuilt the distributor in
my GT6, I discovered that someone had replaced one of the advance springs
with a modified ball point pen (biro) spring! But even with new correct
springs, the idle timing jumped around.
   I verified that the distributor shaft bushings were not worn. That is,
no shaft wobble. However, the pivot shafts and holes in the advance
mechanism were worn, allowing the weights to move on their own, and thus
the timing, but only at idle. Once spun up against the stops, the timing
was constant.
   I found the same wear problem in both my TR3b and TD! Pertronix
distributors fixed the problem and let me set a smooth, constant slow idle.
The OEM distributors are boxed up for the next owners.

<div dir=3D"auto">=C2=A0 =C2=A0I wrote earlier but will repeat it here. Put=
 your timing light on the #1 plug wire and observe the timing mark. Is it s=
teady at idle? If not, the problem is probably in your distributor. When I =
rebuilt the distributor in my GT6, I discovered that someone had replaced o=

 even with new correct springs, the idle timing jumped around.<div dir=3D"a=

thus the timing, but only at idle. Once spun up against the stops, the timi=

Well done Bob.
Yes, I have had the Pertronix pickup in cars too and it does wonders BUT,
it does not solve the worn distributor problem that affects timing
instability. That problem requires a distributor rebuild with new parts, or
a replacement with the whole Pertronix distributor. I chose the later to
kill two birds with one stone. Just my experience, not a condemnation of
anyone else's. A correct, healthy OEM distributor also works just fine, and
is 'correct'. ( I put my concours judge hat on for that last sentence.  :-)

Wear in the timing chain, gears and distributor drive gear as well as =
inside the distributor itself will all contribute to timing jitter.  But =
it would have to be very bad to affect performance significantly.

PaulH.

     I wrote earlier but will repeat it here. Put your timing light on =
the #1 plug wire and observe the timing mark. Is it steady at idle? If =
not, the problem is probably in your distributor.

Yesterday spent on replacing the old hydraulic fluids.

Our son helped well and the result is great.

Even though I use DOT5, regular renewals are needed it is proved.

Someway dirt contaminates into the master and slave cylinders. 

So at the end of the day I tried to start, but the battery was flat.

Reloading for a few hours helped, but I think the battery has had its best =
days=E2=80=A6

We took the GT for a run in the sunny evening and the car behaved great!

Clutch goes very easy and brakes are firm and good.

A joy to drive again. I even touched top speed for a short while =E2=80=93 =
took a little effort to reach to the 100 m/h, so it seems the car=E2=80=99s=
 in a good again, except a poor battery, but that will be an easy fix.

As it is father=E2=80=99s day tomorrow our son will perform a detail polish=
 job on the outer parts, so the GT will be a very presentable car again.

Cheers,

Hans
