Maybe some clarification is required here. Removing the cone bearings is necessary. Leaving the outer _races_ of the bearings in place (or installing new races) is necessary. All brake turning machin

Actually, Jerry, there's a fairly simple way to determine precisely that. Most cars will exhibit some driveability problems, including those you mentioned. But, to determine if accumulated deposits (

How much is too much? That depends upon the driveability, and likely any changes in compression. Every style of engine behaves somewhat differently because of combustion chamber shape and the way it

Can't say for sure without other dimensions. The compression ratio also changes with the bore size. Does the engine have 83mm cylinders, 86mm? 87mm? Ballpark, though--it's now at least 10.5:1. The mo

Not likely. Here's the thing about auxiliary oil feed to the top end. Oil pressure is function of engine speed (to the extent limited by oil pressure relief). In a stock engine, at about 4000 rpm, th

But, that's not actual experiential difference. That's retention of value as an antique. Having driven both, I'd say that the additional track on the TR4 is an advantage, and once a little extra cast
