[TR] Low Oil Pressure and Engine Noises

[John & Pat Donnelly]

Thanks for the advice and refresher. I have new oil and a filter ready. But
now that I think of it the 20-50W I had will be put aside, will run 10-30W
to start, and see where the oil pressure goes. Probably a better measurement
of success.

And thanks for the reminder of the felt. I had forgotten about that. 

In the picture you can see a glimpse of the bottom thrust washer peeking out
on the right side, and it looks fine. I'll measure the forward/back crank
movement, but will probably replace them both anyway - cheap insurance as
somebody mentioned.

Any idea on the #2 conn rod bearing only working on half the surface? Could
it be a problem with dirt/grit between the half shells? I did the plastigage
trick when I put it together many years ago and it seemed fine then.

Thanks!
Johnnie
I WILL drive the TR to TFest this year!


>Don't forget the felt for the rear cap.  Obviously, I'd change the filter,
too.

How were the thrust washers?
