V8 TR3 good news bad news.

["T. S. White" <tswrace@pacbell.net>]

Well I have started the annual repairs to my TR.  The first project was 
to get the leaking htob out.  That went pretty well.  The fact is 
inspection of the htob reveals that the only possible answer for the 
leakage is that the rear seal shrank.  Both of the O-rings are intaqct 
and free of scuff marks.  The rear one is now very loose in it's groove. 
 As I remember it was large enough to fill the groove when it was 
installed.

I also discovered that my #3 cylinder was not firing.  The good news is 
it passed a leak down test yesterday.  I still haven't fingered the problem.

I plan to rebuild the 3rd member and revisit my rear housing mounting on 
this go around too.
