Hello to all. I am new to the list. I have been looking for a TR6 for some
time now and recently purchased a 1972 sapphire blue TR6 - mileage unknown.
The last LBC I owned was a 1972 MG Midget back in my college days (about 20
years ago). I am not a mechanic but I do have a few tools that I have
acquired over the years and some mechanical ability. My plan is to slowly
fix up the car as I have fun driving it.
Because of some of the horror stories I have read on the internet, one of
the first things I wanted to check was the thrust washers. I borrowed my
neighbor's dial gauge and took a couple of readings and got 0.019 inches for
both readings. My questions are:
How soon do I need to replace these? Can I drive my car a while before I
dive into this project? Can I go in and just replace the thrust washers? I
have already ordered a std set of thrust washers, an oil pan gasket, and
some assembly lube. What else do I need?
Thanks for your help. By the way, anyone else live in the Lakeland, FL
area?
