<div>According to the Tilden cam spec sheet, 0.016 is the valve lash setting. It references TS Imports as the source. <span style="">It’s a pretty fascinating collection of specs. Check it out.</span>

</div>
<div>My Tr3 came from the Wichita region and was <span style="">was run by John Holsonback. </span><span style="">a few years later than yours, but I believe it was raced prior to his ownership. </span><span style=""> I don’t have much information about it.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr">Earlier this year I re-acquired my old EP ‘57 TR3 race car which I raced in ‘82, ‘83, and ‘84 and sold following the ‘84 season. (40 years) After replacing the parts that had been cannibalized (coil, fuel cell, battery box etc) and adding fresh
oil, plugs and battery, the old girl fired right up… I was able to make the STL-VTR regional show in June and I’m hoping to take the next step to make the autocross at the VTR Nationals in September.<br>
