References: Mike, Not sure how deep the crack is from the photos but, noticed the hole was not counterbored as mentioned in Factory Prep Manual. I'm sure Kas will confirm but this procedure is performed help prevent what you see in your engine. The idea is to pull tightening torque further into the block. Depending on the crack it may be helpful to perform this procedure now and keep an eye on things.

I was changing the head on my race 1296 engine and I noticed this crack (pictures attached) between a stud hole and the water jacket between cylinders # 2-3. I ran the engine hard last weekend at Thompson without any issues, I was changing the head because the "new" one is ported better and has larger valves. Can this be fixed?

Do vintage rules require an alternator and a lead acid battery? Get rid of the alternator and battery and save 30lbs . Get an "antigravity battery". It weighs 3 lbs, it is safer and has enough power to run the ignition and fuel pump easily for a couple of 25 min sessions. Get a simple volt meter in the dash . It starts at about 13.4 volts and ends @ 12.9 depending on how much you need to crank. Heck get two -one to power the starter and one smaller for the rest of the car. That's what I'm told anyways.

It's now the "dead motor". Scott J. - I was running no external oiling. Emphasis: WAS. Next on the shopping list: rods.

Yes you can, but you should generally do it through a BMS (battery management system) that will balance the cells and prevent overcharging and over discharge. > On Jun 30, 2017, at 10:32 PM, Bill Babcock wrote: > > More realistically: Typical single cell lipo is 3.7V nominal, 4.3 V fully charged so four cells in series is nominally 14 to 16. Volts, which makes electronic ignition systems much happier than the 12.5 volts of lead acid batteries. A typical little battery for a RC model is 5000mah (or 5AH in more normal parlance) and it's a little smaller than a pound of butter. While one of them might actually crank your motor, five or six is a better bet. I had ten handy that I'm no longer using (new drone) so I put them together for peyote. 50AH, 1000Amps of cranking current. If I ever draw that my starter wire will probably vaporize, but the starter spins briskly. pertronix ignition at 6000 rpm draws five amps. So eight to ten hours of running flat out. That's the biggest load by far unless you're running an electric water pump. > > People's bad experience with total loss has to do mostly with lead acid batteries. Electronics are generally designed to run at alternator voltage of 14V. With typical voltage drop an LA battery might drop to 11V at full load.

We are suppose to use 5.5" wheels but we use 6". Most of the TR3/4 guys I run with use 205 width tires. On a TR3 with 205s on 6" rims, you will likely have some minimal rubbing on the outside.

A six inch wheel will work, but clearance becomes an issue on both sides, fender and leaf springs, with a 205 tire. The rear fenders will have to be rolled and the leafs relief ground for tire clearance depending on the wheel offset. If spacers are used to clear the springs, the fenders will be more of a problem, even if they are rolled. I use spacers and the fenders are rolled. A 185/65 tire will work without modifications if the wheel offset is close to standard. A 5.5" wheel is vintage legal in most, if not all organizations and will most likely not have fitment issues, especially with a 185/65 tire. Hoosier Speedsters are the tire for that application. There are more selections in a 205/60 tire which fit a 6" wheel better than a 5.5". I had no problems with stock fenders and no spring clearance problems with 5.5" wheels and 185/65 Hoosier Speedsters and no spacers. As soon as I put 6" wheels and 205/60 Yokohama A048s, fenders and springs had to be modified. My wheels, both 5.5" and 6", are Panasports with, I think a +6mm offset. Long story short, wide wheels and tires are a problem on the rear of a TR3. Front tire, wheel, fender clearance has not been an issue. // Dave H.

I have attached one picture - anyone interested can request more from me. Phone and e-mail are fine. Pauline 1965 Triumph TR4A convertible - black. Purchased by Skip Wilson in 1985 from South Mitsubishi in Englewood. Driven daily to and from work, around town, British Conclave, etc. until late 2014 when he could no longer drive it. It's been sitting in the garage since then. Current Mileage 102,358. Maintained for first 8 years at Scotland Yard - do not have those records. Since 1993 maintained by Fred Hodgson at Auto Wizards. I have complete records - some highlights - Engine Rebuilt 2001 at 93,458 miles. Transmission rebuilt in 2002. Battery replaced 2013. Top replaced 1999. Asking $10,000 negotiable. This car was my husband's baby. He wanted to be sure that it would go to someone who would care for it. That's more important than just the money. In the spirit of full disclosure, there is body damage on the driver's side of the car. Skip had an altercation with a horse trailer and lost.

I'm not sure where, on the engine bay side, the steering column support mount goes. ?I think I have an idea based on trial and error.? If someone that has the two piece column would take a photo and send it to me it would be a great help. Todd From timmmurphh at gmail.com Sun Jul 23 13:01:51 2017 From: timmmurphh at gmail.com (timmmurphh at gmail.com) Date: Sun, 23 Jul 2017 14:01:51 -0500 Subject: [Fot] Thickness of figure 8 gaskets I'm having a block decked and the liner seats recut to get the proper stick out of 0.003 to 0.005. The figure 8 gaskets I've gotten in the past, mostly steel, were 0.015 to 0.016 thick. Even an old set of copper figure 8's measure 0.016. The latest copper figure 8's from British Parts North West measure 0.020. The 0.015 to 0.016 Figure 8's gave the proper stick out with the old block. My concern is that if I have the liner seats cut for the 0.020 gaskets, that in the future I may not be able to get these. I'm also a bit confused as to how in the past the 0.015 to 0.016 apparently worked, but now are people using the 0.020? And how are they getting the stick out within specification? Thanks for any input on this. I'm taking the block over to the machine shop, about 60 miles away, tomorrow, but I don't necessarily have to decide on the liner seats until they actually get it set up on the boring machine. Tim P.S. I talked to Steve Yott and he said the figure 8 gaskets that come in the gasket sets are measuring at 0.020. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I am rubbish at editing these things so all credit for the video goes to Steve Belfer at ArtWithCars. Steve is an animator, musician and a damn fine racer. He runs his dad's TR-3 with VARA but the family home track was Blackhawk Farms Raceway in the 1960's. For some reason the sound from my GoPro was not good but I enjoyed the race with Sam. The track is awesome, old-school and tricky! It was well worth the tow to get to participate in this event, well done to the organizers.
