 Hello All,I disassembled my TR4 race car engine this past week. Last time =
I rebuilt it was 1987. Last time I raced it was 1988. Probably had five or =
six race weekends=C2=A0on the engine but its been sitting for almost twenty=
 years!=C2=A0It is amazing everything looks very good. Rod and Main bearing=
s show minimal ware and the same with the pistons and liners. G3 cam and fo=
llowers including head and valves all look good. Cam bearings look question=
able...
So I plan on installing new cam bearings, Rods & Mains. Any suggestions as =
to what brand and where to buy them?I will deck the block. Any suggestions =
as to other machining I should do to the block?=20
The crank looks fine but I haven't measured it yet. What clearances should =
I run?I do plan on balancing and polishing it.
Thanks for any input.
