I'm trying to diagnose an issue I'm having with my TR6. I took the TR on a
fairly lengthy trip recently and was having problems with #2 fouling out.
I've always had issues with #2 and thought that a recent rebuild of the
cylinder head might rectify the situation. I was wrong.
So with this in mind I did a compression test last night and came up with
the following figures - dry. Btw, the head was shaved to achieve a 9:1
compression ratio.
#1 - 180
#2 - 180
#3 - 150
#4 - 155
#5 - 165
#6 - 180
Obviously #2 doesn't have a compression issue. Aside from the variance in
the cylinders, I suppose I'm looking at a bad ring or broken ring to keep
coming up with oily #2. Am I missing something else? I didn't check the
discumbobulator and the hyperspace module is in good working order.
Ideas?
