Well it sure is looking like it was the water pump. Also the header could
could have contributed to the problem. Thanks to Greg Hilyer (lots of phone
conversations) and Tony Drews for the extra help. Thanks to all the FOT
folks who pointed out to look at the water pump. I will get it back running
next weekend and we will see. At least I am getting to know my way around the
TR. I had to laugh at my driveway last weekend. A TR4 a Fiero and a 62
Corvair Greenbrier van. We are the wierd car folks in the neighbor hood.

Subject: [Fot] TR4 head gasket leak today at PIR
Well;
I have been chasing some weird cooling issues which I though I has
sorted out. Trailerd down to Portland Intl. made it one lap. Didn't
overheat it but squirted water out the overflow tank. I did not build the
engine and this is my first triumph. I had some off line discussions with a
few FOT folks trying to sort this out. Like I said I thought I had it fixed.
I understand there are a few tricks to assembling the head gasket. It is
leaking to the outside in the right front of the head.
Looking for some
tips on replacing the head gasket.
thanks!!!!!
Mike Mehl
