Story: freshly rebuilt engine on a newly-restored TR3B. Great pressure at
start up but once the engine warmed, it fell like a stone. Tried a new oil
pump, replaced the oil filter head - still no luck.
So I finally found the problem. When I plastigaged the rod bearings today I
realized they were wrong. The crank is obviously not the standard crank I
thought. However the mix-up occurred (probably too many cranks being
handled at the same time) it was clearly my fault for not plexigaging the
bearings before putting them on. I thought I had, but we'll have to put it
down to a senior moment.
Thank you all for your suggestions!
Andrew
