It seems that when the crank fails, it does so through fatigue, at the undercut radius at the rear main. This I understand. It seems that when a rod fails, it is mostly #2 and / or #3. What puzzles m

We mortals certainly don't understand turbulent flow. There are so many variables in a system like this that the obvious answers are almost always wrong. Take something really simple, like coolant fl

I may be showing my ignorance here but does the TR4 have three mains like the Spits? # 1 main feeds #1 rod. #2 main feeds two rods, 2& 3 and rear main feeds #4 rod and cam? So the center main feeds t

The TR4 does feed two rods from the center main and the first press in cam Didn't some Spitfire racers drill the crank to connect #1 to 2 and # 4 to 3? I seem to remember this being done in the past

Yes Steve, just like a spit, only much heavier stuff going up & down & 'round & 'round... Glen

Maybe it is that the first bearings to be starved of oil are the # 2s, since they are closest to the pump. If the pump sucks and pumps air, it would show up at the closest bearings. Joe(B) It seems t

This explanation makes a lot of sense. I have always seen #2 rod bearing fail first if there is a rod bearing failure due to lack of oil delivery. Greg Solow -- Original Message -- From: "Joe Boruch"

I am not sure of galley diameters in the TR4, but in the spits, we have to drill out the hole in the block that feeds the center main, to allow more flow, and also enlarge the holes in the crank tha
