Yes, they CAN go bad slowly. Happened years ago to me with a Mk.3 Spitfire. As it (the coil) warmed to a certain point, apparently the internal windings "separated" and caused the engine to stop. Onc

Yeah, that would work. And yes, the various manuals should give diameters and other spec's. Note, too, that the bearing shells and (in some, but not all, cases) pistons should be marked with both par

I'd be willing to bet the sender is bad. Possible, but not likely. I think the senders were virtually the same for all electrically driven temperature gauges. That sounds about right. You're welcome!

Kim, I think so, but I can't be sure as I don't have any good references in front of me. Is it four or six cylinders? BTW, the John Kipping Triumph Spares catalogue is one good source for prefix code
