[TR] Modernity of Thinking

[wbeech at flash.net]

I bought the 87mm kit from Moss 3,000 miles ago, no complaints runs
fantastic!  

I installed the Moss rear seal at the same time, still lots of oil on the
exhaust pipe and ground.  I have heard of several other products that are
supposed to be better, of course, I cannot comment from experience but Daryl
Uprichard has a couple of solutions that sound interesting.

...Yeah. ...Like I'm capable of it!
Anyway, it's been ten years since I rebuilt the engine on my '59 TR3A, but
am going to do it again this winter...as soon as I get a wood stove hooked
up in my...yes!  I have a garage this time!
...So...Moss has a piston/liner set for $578.  Roadster Factory has Mahle
for $900 that includes other stuff.  Question:  Mahle is German, I think,
and served me exceedingly well last time.  Anybody know about the quality of
the Moss brand...or what it is?
Second question:  I went with an upgraded rear seal last time that had
instructions to clip the spring by a certain amount.  Has there been an
improvement in the rear seal solution in the past ten years?  I tried
archives, but can't seem to see a clear change in styles.  But I admit I
haven't been following the list closely these past couple of years.
Thanks again, everyone.
