[TR] Cleaning block Tip

[staffel]

Respectfully  recommended cleaning each thread orifice with brake cleaner and several rounds of Q-tip cleaning until no more oil residue shows on the Q-tip.You really want to make sure that when you Torque down the Cylinder Head  your Torque wrench specs are 'Consistent ' for each sequential Bolt.On Aluminum engines this is way more critical than on Triumph cast iron blocks/cylinder heads, but 'Cleanliness' will ensure future service non weeping head gaskets.Sherman D Taffel, PhDColumbia MD & Goldvein VA65 TR4 CT50054L (original owner)4 Jaguar V12s2 Jensen Interceptors(Chrysler383/440s)3 Jensen GTs (Lotus 907 engines)14 Americans 1936-2015 (4,6,& 8s)Winter motto: "Why start 12 cyl when 4 will do just fine"Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S10, an AT&T 5G Evolution capable smartphone
