[TR] Update on low oil pressure situation

[andrew uprichard]

Story:  freshly rebuilt engine on a newly-restored TR3B.  Great pressure at
start up but once the engine warmed, it fell like a stone.  Tried a new oil
pump, replaced the oil filter head - still no luck.

 

So I finally found the problem.  When I plastigaged the rod bearings today I
realized they were wrong.  The crank is obviously not the standard crank I
thought.  However the mix-up occurred (probably too many cranks being
handled at the same time) it was clearly my fault for not plexigaging the
bearings before putting them on.  I thought I had, but we'll have to put it
down to a senior moment.

 

Thank you all for your suggestions!

Andrew
