Hi Guys
Do any of you racers out there have a standard TR3 2.138cc piston with
rings, gudgeon pin, con rod with big end cap and the respective big end
bearings and bolts? There's no panic but if you have the said items lurking
around in a workshop, I wonder if you could put them on the wife's kitchen
scales and weigh them for me (make sure you put a plastic bag on the scales
or you'll get a bollocking like I've just had from Julia for contaminating
kitchen equipment with motor parts etc).
I want to compare the weight with that of an identically complete twin cam
piston and con rod assembly I have from a 1961 Le Mans 'team prize' engine.
I've just carefully scraped the carbon off the piston prior to polishing
and mounting it.- Come to think of it, I think I'll nip down to the shed
and collect that carbon off the bench it must be as rare as rocking horse
****. - can anyone make a rough guess as to what the twin cam assembly
weighs?
Have a good W.E.
Paul
