[TR] Engine Rebuild -- Sorta

[wbeech at flash.net]

30psi at hot idle, about 750rpm, is a pretty good benchmark for a Triumph,
an MG motor shouldn't be any different.

Can the rod, main and thrust washers can be replaced from under the car
after dropping the oil pan?

I've done this in the 1500 MG Midget.

The satisfaction in seeing the improvement in oil pressure was immense.  

A good winter project, taking one's time and trying to enjoy it.

At hot idle, what oil psi would be considered time to change the bearings
And what rpm are we talking about?

Thanks for any response.
