Steve---I don't think an advanced list could be put together that would
not find you either over-buying or under-buying parts. So much of the
TR engine can be resurfaced, milled, ground, bored and replaced
piecemeal, that if you are trying to do this on a budget it's better to
disassemble the engine first to do the measurements, inspect parts and
go from there. If spending a little extra money is not a problem, you
could even order a complete bottom end, top end, and accessories from
TRF, and send them the cores. How much of the rebuild do you want to do
yourself? All of this comes into "the list."
If you have a Bentley manual, turn to where it starts the proceedure on
"engine overhaul" to get an idea of what a rebuild entails. It's fun,
if you have the time and tools.
