Hi Folks-I fired up my '66 +4 (TR4A motor) yesterday and all is wel EXECPT for
a strange
new sound-It sounds as if the fan is hitting something,but that is not the
case. The sound is only apparent when the engine is running, ie I don't
hear it when the engine is turning over with the key off.
1. I suspect the water pump. All of my books indicate a grease fitting on the
housing but I
don't have one. Possibly Morgan (Triumph) went to a sealed unit?
2. Are their other possibilities?
3. Assuming its the water pump-is it safe to drive? BTW, there is no
obvious leakage.
Thanks in advance.
