You're talking about place on the radiator where the cap goes on, right ? I am going to _guess_ that someone has put that there in an attempt to get the wrong cap to hold pressure. The TR3 takes a s

Not sure if any of this would apply to you, Ed, but ... Many years ago, on a long trip, my post-50K starter drive came apart. Don't know if the cotter pin broke or if someone left it out, but the bi

All I can say is that was NOT the case for me. Everything seemed to be fine after I saw the hole, and I drove the car roughly a year that way. But I believe the crack was growing all that time, unti

My recollection is that there are only two bolts that have to be removed. Should have welded captive nuts on the other end. Depends on how much movement you need. There is also a closer bracket, at

Guess you can count me in the "arguers", then. The TR3 factory manual says to remove all traces of grease, before "liberally coating the rollers and races with new grease". No mention of packing the

That's actually not true ... almost every state has laws against driving while "impaired", no matter what the source of impairment is. You can, in theory, be ticketed for driving with a bad cold (if

Perhaps some clarity about terms is in order here. Anytime the #1 piston is at the exact top, that's TDC on #1. Since these are 4-cycle engines, that means there are two TDC events per cylinder firi
