I am seeking confirmation of the change-over point the the closed circuit breather system on a TR4. AFAIK the change to Strombergs occurred at CT21471E, I assume that the open breather system then c

I'm not sure about the TR series, but the Herald, Spitfire, et.al. change point was earlier in the US than for the home market. ISTR that there was some US requirement for a positive crankcase ventil

I believe 1963 was the starting point for crankcase controls in CA, the federal requirements followed a few years later. But many makers, including Triumph, elected to deliver all US cars as CA-spec.

Michael, I am almost certain this means your car did not come with the 'Y' tube, unless there was a goof at the factory (which did happen from time to time). The function of the Y tube would be more

I agree totally, but what was put in the place of the breather tube on the later, non-breather tube cars? Was there some kind of a blank there? If so I think the breather tube on my car is definately

On the ones I've seen, the hole in the block was still drilled, but had a cupped plug installed, somewhat like the core plugs used on the 6-cyl TRs. There were a fair number of TR3B and early TR4 th

Yes, the hole is plugged. Kind of looks like an undersized, extra-deep freeze plug. Geo Hahn 64 TR4 Tucson /// triumphs@autox.team.net mailing list /// To unsubscribe send a plain text message to maj

Hi Bob: I just went through this exercise, also with the engine in the car. There's probably a better way, but here's what I did and it wasn't so difficult once I figured it out. 1: I drilled a hole

Another possibility (if Don's method fails) is to enlarge the hole a little, and use a cut-down toggle bolt. Cut down the wings of the toggle bolt so they only spread to a little less than the diamet
