Even if the cam is stock this gives you a margin of protection as you definitely do not wan the clearance to tight. Geo _____________; /html/triumphs/2007-08/msg00637.html (7,669 bytes)

TR2-early TR6 lack the circuit that powers the coil just because the starter is engaged, so they won't start unless the key is on.
