>The car's in the air, the oil pan is off, and I'm about to undertake a
bottom end rebuild on my 72 TR6.
I was getting a slight bearing knock and marginal oil pressure
(22-25psi) at hot idle, so now's the time to do this, before too much
more warm weather gets by.
I'm intending to replace the bearings and mains, thrustwashers and
probably the oil pump. For those who have done this before, any pearls
of wisdom to toss my way?

Loosen the fan belt.
Put in a new oil pump while you are in there.
Get a set of standard and .005 over thrust washers and mix and match for
the end float you want.
Good Luck
