Hi guys,
I am a regular member of the list for some years now and excuse me as I
don't have a TR6 but have five Saloons all with 2500 PI engines, one with a
TR6 cam, so I find all the content on engines on this list most helpful but
can't participate as much on the TR 6 per se. I'd love to have a TR6 but
unfortunately out of budget at this stage.
I do have a question though, on how to correctly measure valve lift with cam
and rockers in place.
I have tried to rest dial gauge tip on the actual rocker head on top of the
valve but clearly this point rotates through a wide arc and cannot get the
dial indicator tip end to sit on the rocker at this point anyway.
Do you instead rest the dial gauge tip on the screw adjuster and measure
from here assuming a certain rocker ratio or what is the correct method
given cam and rockers are in place.
I understand lift and duration on a TR6 engine is different to a Saloon PI
but this is just a relative measure I am after to compare between motors.
I'm trying to assess any wear in the camshaft without actually removing the
cam to do so.
Many thanks for any pointers on this and also pointers may be on measuring
duration and opening/closing angles.
Cheers
Joe.
