59 TR3A
Symptoms:
Suddenly started to run poorly at low RPM under load.
Blowing smoke from both the vent tube and exhaust
Procedure:
Reset valve clearance to 11 thousandths across the board
Static set the timing to 4 degrees BTDC
Warmed the engine
Pulled all plugs
Dry checked and then wet checked with the following results:
1) D 152 W 170
2) D 152 W 165
3) D 120 W 140
4) D 155 W 180
Do I have a broken ring on #3? Also noted that when I pulled the plugs
after warm up that the #3 was wet. Not sure best approach. I'm quessing the
engine was last rebuilt around 1990, and has maybe as much as 50K miles.
Thanks in advance for advice
Ed
