Well, I decided to sell my 73 TR6. I've owned it for 26 of it's 36 years.
Purchased back in 1983
from a car dealer (his car) in Newport RI, before him it was owned by a man in
Denver CO (original owner).
I just finished an engine rebuild and still have the break-in oil in it (about
300 miles on it).
The car looks and runs great. I just completed a complete engine re-build and
the car is
registered and on the road.
Engine (first ever re-build):
Cylinders were bored .020 over.
New pistons.
Head milled down to 3.445" thick to get 9:1 compression ratio.
New valve seats.
New valve guides.
New conrod, main bearings (.020" over).
New Piper 270 Cam.
New TRF carpet kit (light brown with new tan trim)
New TRF Magic clutch kit.
New rear springs.
Completely rebuilt/new brakes , lines, hoses, front stainless steel caliper
pistons, new rotors, new master cylinder.
Rebuilt rocker arm assembly with bushings added to rockers (by Rocker Arm
Specialists, Anderson, CA).
New oil pump.
New timing chain.
