Thank you, everyone, for clearing up the TR3 engine liner question and the
other one about the external oil hose to the top end. You people are great,
and I hope to get to know some of you at some function in 2005 when my car is
done and driving daily. I owe more than a couple beers/ales here and there!
Another quick question (with two more to follow separately).
My engine had been sitting since 1972. Liners are rusted and need replacing.
My thought is to wait for the Roadster Factory to have a winter sale. I
believe they offer Mahle pistons and liners. Most people seem to recommend AE
Hepolite, but these don't seem to be available. Does Mahle make a quality
piston/liner set?
And...my friend Kent on this list suggested I ask your advice on whether there
might be a better place/price for piston/liner sets?
I haven't done any real research on rod and main bearings. Ken Gilander
mentioned that Glacier is good, but hard to find now, and that Federal Mogul
is an acceptable alternative. Any advice on these or an alternative? Is
Vanderval available?
