Cherry red exhaust pipe
Hi TR family and happy Valentine’s Day.
It was 60degrees here today and decided it was a TR day.
Previously I replaced the timing change and both sprockets, radiator, water pump and the new yellow fan and electric radiator fan. Engine runs and no overheating.
No problems at idle, but with increased throttle, the exhaust manifold pipe quickly turns cherry red and engine sputters. When left to idle it goes back to normal. Engage throttle and same thing happens.
Is the wisdom of the team I should adjust the valves next? Any other advice/thoughts are welcome.
Erkan
