- I've got a little rattle in the front end of my TR3 at about 1200-1500 RPM. I finally found my stethoscope and confirmed that it is coming from the timing chain. The engine does not have any of the o

- IMO there should be no "rattle". A tiny amount of what I would call "whine" is normal, but not rattle. Actual chain wear can be gauged to some extent by turning the crankshaft backwards and observin

- Well, I can't argue with that! Except perhaps to hope that what Susan was doing at Mosport didn't qualify as "putter around on a few short easy trips". I drove several hundred miles (at least) with

- You're right there is probably some difference in driving style there! The amount of abuse a race engine takes over a street engine is considerable. One thing about it, things that most people would

- Hi List! I'm sorry to get into this thread so late, but I'm on the TR Digest List. [BTW- That's why I usally reply to the indivdual instead of the list.] But this time I thought that the list might b
