This is an easy question, I hope. Which end of the head studs go into
the block on a '74 TR6 engine? One end has a short threaded section ~
1/2", the other end about twice as long. The block looks like it is
threaded deep enough to accomodate the longer threads, but from what I
can see in several of my catalogs, the longer threads appear to be at
the top. Unfortunately all the catalogs show the studs in the block
(not in a nice exploded view floating in space) so it's kind of hard
to tell.
This is it though, the final countdown. The reground cam should
arrive today and the frame off mechanical restoration (didn't touch
the body other than new frame mounts) should be complete. All new
valve guides, valve seat inserts, crank turned .010 over, new clutch
shaft, bearings, etc....., etc...... After getting it apart it is
hard to believe that it ran as smoothly as it did. Idle was smoother
than most new cars on the road. Top end was another story. Always
seemed to be starving for fuel. Hope to have her running by the
weekend and give the list an "it's alive!" story.
Thanks in advance,
Mark
