Eric,
I too am in the midst of a TR6 engine (and soon some body) rebuild.
I have found the following book quite useful for insights into
the engine portion of the adventure.
"Engine Builder's Handbook" by Tom Monroe, 1996, HPBooks, ISBN 1-55788-245-2
List price of $16.95
It covers generic push rod engines. It is quite good at describing how to
diagnose performance problems before and during the tear-down. Also covers
useful tools, etc.
Regards,
Mike Morelli

Subject: Book titles for beginning a TR6 restoration needed
Well, I'm looking to add relevant books to my library that will aid me to
restore my 1976 TR6. I'm especially interested in engine rebuilding and
body/metal working information.
I have these title names so far:
"The Key to Metal Bumping" by Frank T. Sargent
"The Complete Official Triumph TR6 & TR250 Model Years 1967-1976" by British
Leyland Motors
Could anyone suggest other books that would inform and guide me through the
process? Also, a guide to diagnosing engine ailments (such as no engine
firing) would be helpful.
