1) All new lock washers of course
2) Oil pump
3) three piece clutch while you've got the engine out (unless it's pretty
new)
4) input shaft seal in trans (while it's accessable) and probably the rear
seal in the trans too.
5) have the radiator boiled out and pressure tested.
6) if you replace the timing chain DO replace the gears!!
7) pilot bushing at the end of the crank
This is just what I would do.

Subject: Engine re-build must-do's
Listers,
I am diving into my first engine re-build and I am reading Haynes, Bently,
magazines and whatever else I come across related to re-building a TR6
engine.
I was wondering if anyone can list the items that should "absolutely" be
replaced during a re-build. I plan on checking everything for wear, making a
list of parts, and ordering all at once from one of the big three (probably
the TRF's Winter Parts Sale for maximum discount).
Please add to the following list (tips welcome):
1. All gaskets (of course)
2. Piston Rings
3. Valves (replace w/ hardened)
4. Valve guides (replace w/ hardened)
5. Tappets
6. I know I will need to get my crankshaft turned down, so I will need
oversized bearings.
7. If Timing chain is worn (stretched), should I replace gears?
8. Camshaft (if worn)
9. Rocker Shaft (probably worn)
10. Replace Rocker Shaft spacer springs with solid spacers (is this
recommended?)
11. Add a external oil hose to feed the top of the engine (I was told that
our engines are starved for oil, and that this addition would help)
12. Is it OK to use the same bolts over again or should I definately use new
bolts on bearing caps and ?????
13.
14.
15.
Thanks,
Wayne
