[TR] TR6 Idle stumble

[Bill]

	New information for an old subject, we have had the TR6 idle 
stumble recently, after listening and consulting, I sprayed a 
volatile liquid (green approved of course) along the intake ports of 
the manifold, and sure enough there was a speed up at #6 cylinder. 
Ordered the competition manifold gasket, our TR6 has the "early" 
engine, head.  Inspecting the intake manifold I noticed it did not 
seem all that straight, was told early intakes had casting problems. 
Off to our favorite machine shop where my suspicions were confirmed, 
and we had the intake manifold milled, there is now a Significant 
difference in the surface.  I am looking forward to re-assembly and 
am fairly confident there will be no idle "stumble" ... will keep you 
posted.
