Today I put the TR4A up on jack stands and changed the oil and filter for it's 400 mile check. I started at the rear and worked my way up to the front checking for loose fastners or anything needing attention. All I found was; 1. Driver side rear brake needed adjusting. 2. Added a couple of ty-wraps on the speedometer cable. 3. Passenger side front wheel bearing was a tad loose. 4. retorqued the head and adjusted the valves. 5. I checked the spark plugs and the center electrodes are tan and the rest of the plug was black. Not bad I started installing the rear bumper today. I got as far as getting all the rear fastners and brackets loosely attached. I need to work on the side attachements and then I can start tightening things up. Last Friday, I drove it to work (about 45 miles round trip) and another 40 or so miles yesterday down the Ohio river and back. The reason I am not sure is that the speedometer needs to be rebuilt. It broke two speedometer cables until I caught on and disconnected it. The bearing that the main shaft runs it has stiffened up. I talked to a gauge rebuilder and he said it would take 4 weeks to rebuild Dave Connitt '67 TR4A IRS http://home.fuse.net/davestr4a ** triumphs@autox.team.net ** Archive: http://www.team.net/archive |
