It was a good day today, I started my TR6 after my first engine rebuild.
It started up on the first try, and it runs smooth and quiet. :)
I ran it for about 15 minutes at 2000-2500 RPM.
Oil pressure started @ 90 psi and at the end of the 15 minutes was about 75
psi.
Temp was steady just below the half way mark on the gauge.
I noticed a very slow leak at the water pump front flange, but after running
the engine it seamed to
go away, so I won.t worry about it for now.
I am running the engine with straight 30 wt "no-detergent" oil with a pint of
zinc and moly additive.
The engine sounded great at 2000 rpm, when I let it rev down to 1000 it seemed
a little rough.
I have not checked the idle timing with a stobe yet, it was static timed @ 12
degrees BTDC.
Now on to the road test after I fix my brake M/C problem.
Oh yeah, need to get it registered and insured.
