Lang" <lang@isis.mit.edu>; Date: Fri, 5 Nov 2004 10:06:40 -0500 (EST); The way rocker arm specialists "do" the shaft is that they "turn it" to get it smooth. They then "hard chrome" the shaft to a nominal dimension. They then ream the bushed rockers to that nominal dime; /html/6pack/2004-11/msg00048.html (9,337 bytes)

You should try slacking the bolts off and then getting the weight on the wheels and then torqueing the nuts to spec. The bolts are probably binding on the brackets.; /html/6pack/2004-11/msg00076.html (7,056 bytes)

Lang" <lang@isis.mit.edu>; Date: Tue, 23 Nov 2004 09:21:42 -0500 (EST); Now you know why a lot of folks convert to the spin-on filter setup. The key to removing the oil canister is that the fuel pump is in the way. When we used to bring the TR6 to the dealer for tuneups; /html/6pack/2004-11/msg00248.html (9,495 bytes)

Lang" <lang@isis.mit.edu>; Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2004 09:56:52 -0500 (EST); The thermostat is probably a good idea, as if you run cold 20w50 oil through the cooler when the ambient is cold, the result is like molasses.

If the oil is really cold, the oil pressure will be very high - much more than 75 PSI. This high pressure will cause the oil pressure relif valve to dump pressure.; /html/6pack/2004-11/msg00349.html (9,150 bytes)
