Not true... I did one 2 - 3 years ago.  It was my second engine overhaul ever
(the first was a '59 Renault done in '65, which didn't go so well - the
Renault or the overhaul).  The TR4 rebuild went well, it's still running
strong under demanding autocross conditions.  Pretty straightforward and
definitely not brain surgery.

Have fun...

'63 TR3B
'63 TR4
'65 TR4A
Three out of four are running and drivable... that's gotta be some kind of
record!!
