Well, I've just come in from my ritual running of the engine in my (once) '72 TR6. It ran great considering its been a year since its last spin. The only problem is there's not much left of the car i

Do you have a spring/lip seal or a scroll seal? I'm not sure, but I think that this procedure with the fealer gauge applies only to ths scroll type seals on earlier engines. Good luck, Bill King

I had the same problem with my '75 Spit. It was crummy nuts holding down the head that caused it. I bought them at a local AP store, big mistake. I ended up blowing the head gasket. That's when I no

Here's my 2 cents: if your sound is the sound I think it is, its probably one or more worn big-end bearings. Does it take a second or 2 for the oil light to go out when starting from cold? If these b

It all depends on the "front end cover" in your bell-housing. Some of them used an oil seal (press-in, spring/lip type) and others just had a close fit and relied on the thrower to keep the oil in.
