Dave-
I have to say your note makes me realize how much I miss Randall Young and =
his always present knowledge of items like this. Not positive, but I think=
I recall Randall talking about these taps, and the potential for poorer qu=
ality in the replacements. I believe the fix that can help is to lap in th=
e valve with some lapping compound, similar to a valve job. Best to take i=
f off the block if you want to try, but it isn't too bad to disassemble and=
with a little work you may be able to get a better seal.

Subject: [TR] Small coolant leak
I have noticed a small coolant leak from my TR3 and have traced it to the h=
andle assembly of the water drain tap on the side of the block. Anyone else=
had this issue? It's a new tap and don't know what the fix might be. It's =
not leaking from where the tap threads into the block... Thanks in advance =
for any BTDT advice...
Dave
