Talking about a TF:

I was offered a nice looking TF yesterday, but it=E2=80=99s in Beverly Hill=
s, which is quite far from The Netherlands=E2=80=A6

   Sunday afternoon is our project day. I want to remove the tops of float =
chambers again, the covers and pistons, and to try a bit of compressed air =
on the jet to see if that will dislodge anything in the passage.  If not, w=
e can drop the jets out, but that is awkward on a TF, with its side panels =
diabolically placed to make any carb work difficult.

   It was this same friend who talked me into a Pertronix for my MGB, after=
 he had installed them in this TF and his MGA.   I did, and it improved the=
 inaccurate timing quite a bit. A couple of years later, I sent the distrib=
utor to Advanced Distributors. Jeff wanted to know about the engine, its co=
mpression, camshaft, porting, polishing, etc, then curved the distributor t=
o fit.  This engine runs very well now. Though he is not 100% sold on the P=
ertronix, I keep it because setting dwell of the MGB is not as easy as in T=
D.  

  Fuel, air, spark=E2=80=94we are working to get them all in proper proport=
ion.

Keep cleaning Bob. :-)

 

My TD and TR3b both had idle instability problems AND the higher speed issu=
es. I ended up putting Pertronix distributors in both cars and they ran fan=
tastic! The slow idle was perfect. 

 

So check the timing with a timing light to see if it is stable.

  Pump delivers the pint/minute quantity that workshop manual says.

   Good work Hans! I too had a successful day at the shop. I replaced in tw=

   I also found a small fuel leak at the intake of the fuel pump. A couple =
of spannet twists put that right and dry. With that, we made a few laps aro=

Funny =E2=80=93 I solved coolant issues earlier and yesterday.

Had to replace the thermostat housing gasket and yesterday I had to replace=
 the hose connecting the bottom radiator pipe to the waterpump.

A horrible job to do, as there is almost no space to work at the bottom of =
the radiator pipe.

Nut with a dry result!

 

Fully cleaned a clogged charcoal filter and renewed the charcoal particles.=


Replaced the oil filler cap and will renew the brake fluid tomorrow.

Then the GT should be roadworthy again.

Hi Friends,

   My TR6 rebuilt engine leaks coolant. Okay, its not an MG but the issue i=
s universal. Here's the short story.

   When reassembling the waterpump I made a newbie error. I got in a hurry =
and left out two bolts, some of the bolts that hold the pump body to the he=
ad. The coolant leak is through one of those bolt holes. The threaded hole =
drilling entered the head's water jacket and of course, leaks.

   I now have new bolts and I will apply sealant to the threads and place f=
iber sealing washers under the bolt heads. Doing so hopefully completes the=
 engine rebuild. I can then get back to replacing the top on my MG TD.

 

Rick

&nbsp;My TR6 rebuilt engine leaks coolant. Okay, its not an MG but the =
issue is universal. Here's the short story.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p =

&nbsp;When reassembling the waterpump I made a newbie error. I got in a =
hurry and left out two bolts, some of the bolts that hold the pump body =
to the head. The coolant leak is through one of those bolt holes. The =
threaded hole drilling entered the head's water jacket and of course, =
leaks.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=3DMsoNormal =
style=3D'mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'>&nbsp; =
&nbsp;I now have new bolts and I will apply sealant to the threads and =
place fiber sealing washers under the bolt heads. Doing so hopefully =
completes the engine rebuild. I can then get back to replacing the top =
on my MG TD.<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=3DMsoNormal =
