If Gary Horskorda's car is not sold, his TR-4 sounds like a great deal to me! It is still listed in the back of Victory Lane in the April issue for $18,300. The contact listed is 3tr67@comcast.net I

Be sure to take a look at the cam, lifters and pushrods. If the rocker arms siezed on the shaft and then broke, the loads on the cam lifters and pushrods also went way up also. There may be more dama
