Loosing that screw is similar to losing clearance at the cam - the oil feed is directly off the rear main bearing . rml -- Bob Lang Room N42-140Q | This space for rent Consultant; /html/triumphs/2005-04/msg00775.html (7,672 bytes)

That'll cure the problem forever. The actual cutover to the collapsable s; /html/triumphs/2005-03/msg00775.html (7,353 bytes)

Note - with 3 shims on the outer and inner, you've increased the track length by about 3/16" - again, this shuld be unnecessary. rega; /html/triumphs/2006-03/msg00556.html (7,067 bytes)

The values for cyls 3, 4 and 5 look iffy to me. A leakdown test will prove if the valves are sealing and/or the head gasket is bad. Back; /html/triumphs/2006-10/msg00146.html (7,353 bytes)
