Wow!  Dave's video is phenomenal.  His effort in restoring the TR 3 is
the mark of an artist.  I've got a '62 TR 3 B and I'm goin' out to the
garage right now to get to work.  Well done, Dave!

Turning it upward and I made an o-ring sealed fitting that fits tight
in the block and welded the modified and turned up tube to it.  Check

Hello Allen,
Thank you very much for the kind works and complements of my work.
I enjoyed every minute during the 54 month project.  I also enjoy the chall=
enges involved with design and fabrication of special parts and components.=
 =20
The engine is out for a refresh after 19 race events and 5,500 miles of str=
eet use.=20
The car finished every lap of every session of every race weekend.  A perfe=
ct record. =20
I'm especially proud of that.  The crank and rod bearings looked as new.  T=
he crank has been crack checked and polished.  The valves and seats are bei=
ng refreshed. =20
Cheers,
Dave H.=20
