221. [TR] Camshaft selections - TRactor Engines (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2011 14:17:34 -0700; I disagree. They've got great big counterweights, as befits a TRactor motor. And Loctite comes in formulas that will withstand up to 650F continuously. If your rods are getting that hot, the problem; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01062.html (9,386 bytes)

With overdrive, stock diameter tires and a 3.7 diff, 4000 rpm comes to 97 mph. I guess you do pass most of the traffic! <g> -- Randall; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01066.html (9,789 bytes)
223. [TR] Camshaft selections - TRactor Engines (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2011 23:49:20 -0700; So your problem is not lack of performance at high rpm at all. That's less than 3000 rpm, not even to the torque peak with the factory cam. A wilder camshaft isn't likely to improve much on power/to; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01071.html (9,415 bytes)
224. [TR] Camshaft selections - TRactor Engines (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2011 00:19:47 -0700; Well, I'm always willing to be edumacated. You mean something like this? http://tinyurl.com/4yuvfpn (A GM Quad 4 crank on eBay) It's got more main bearings (of course), but I see the same number of; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01072.html (9,530 bytes)
225. [TR] Payen (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Tue, 28 Jun 2011 09:23:55 -0700; My understanding is that Payen has quit making gaskets for the TR2-4 motor. You might be able to find some still on the shelf, though. -- Randall; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01076.html (7,272 bytes)
226. [TR] tr3a tail light wiring (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 09:52:22 -0700; IMO Yes, you should fabricate a ground harness. The factory did rely on the mounting screws and they are far from secure, especially since the screw only goes into a clip nut (rather than into the me; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01095.html (7,636 bytes)
227. [TR] FW: Wiper/Panel Switch Placement TR3 (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 11:25:37 -0700; Carl, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I meant to check some things when I got home last night, but the TR didn't want to cooperate and I didn't get home until after midnight. Anyway, I see yo; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01098.html (8,496 bytes)
228. [TR] British Car Publication CDs (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 11:30:48 -0700; Actually, the bit that doesn't work came from Israel. And as a computer programmer, I can appreciate that it's really tough to write code that is compatible with one buttock operating systems that d; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01099.html (8,947 bytes)
229. [TR] TR2/3 control head installation. (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2011 17:45:15 -0700; Might be worth trying a trial assembly of the backplate into the steering wheel without it screwed to the control head. That way, you could see why the grub screws aren't grabbing it. -- Randall; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01105.html (7,475 bytes)
230. [TR] interior insulation - TR3 (score: 131): Author: tr3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2011 11:08:36 -0700; Just a thought, have you tried using a different ignition coil?

Instead I added copper "fire rings" to a sto; /html/triumphs/2011-06/msg01128.html (9,345 bytes)
232. [TR] Tr3 Dash Switches? (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2011 16:45:38 -0700; In case you are wondering George, the factory always punched the holes in the sheet metal. If the heater and/or OD were not fitted, they just left the holes covered with vinyl. At least that was true; /html/triumphs/2011-07/msg00384.html (7,719 bytes)
233. [TR] Oil Cooler (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Sat, 2 Jul 2011 15:49:43 -0700; Well, sorta. As you pointed out, you really want to have a thermostat, so the oil gets warm enough to boil off condensation, reduce sludge, etc. So unless you are going racing, generally the thermos; /html/triumphs/2011-07/msg00391.html (8,008 bytes)
234. [TR] Brake Restrictor Valve (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2011 18:56:54 -0700; Yes, although it's more like a spring-loaded plunger. http://tinyurl.com/3dpt8pa -- Randall; /html/triumphs/2011-07/msg00406.html (7,326 bytes)
235. [TR] Idle oil pressure (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Sat, 9 Jul 2011 18:37:59 -0700; Sorry I didn't answer your text, Ronnie.

The GT6 is basically like the TR2-6; idle oil pressure can be anything fro; /html/triumphs/2011-07/msg00454.html (7,550 bytes)
236. [TR] Paint Question (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Sat, 9 Jul 2011 20:31:10 -0700; Just a thought : do you use DOT 5 brake fluid? It is apparently not too difficult to manage to form an aerosol with tiny droplets hanging in the air. If one of those droplets lands on your surface,; /html/triumphs/2011-07/msg00456.html (7,492 bytes)
237. [TR] squeaky front suspension TR3 (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2011 02:15:09 -0700; FWIW, I was reading through some old TSOA newsletters; and one of them has the comment that "squeaks and groans" from the front suspension are usually from the _lower_ inner pivots.

The factory SPC also doesn't list the lock tabs, I don't believe they should be there. -- Randall; /html/triumphs/2011-07/msg00473.html (8,194 bytes)
239. [TR] TR3 shroud (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2011 11:00:39 -0700; I presume this is a TR3A, with the wide grill. Adding the shroud to my early 3A (which did not originally have one) definitely helped it run cooler at freeway speeds. -- Randall; /html/triumphs/2011-07/msg00474.html (8,976 bytes)
240. [TR] TR3 kick panel hole (score: 131): Author: TR3driver at ca.rr.com (Randall); Date: Mon, 11 Jul 2011 21:10:23 -0700; I believe it was a provision for a factory radio speaker: http://fwd4.me/06O5 Up to you whether you want to seal it, but I don't think doing so will keep you any drier. -- Randall; /html/triumphs/2011-07/msg00490.html (8,158 bytes)
