some reason I decided to check my valve clearances and  found two valves 
had no 
gap at all.  (valve seat recession?)  I  regapped the valves and the miss 
went away.


Thanks Dave and all that responded.  I was and am concerned that  the Six 
needs a valve job.  45,000 miles on the clock still a factory  build. I will 
start with the propane to find a vacuum leak then on to the  valves for 
adjustment.  I suppose a problem with the  valves would show up on a compression 
test.  Exhaust valve recession  would cause a lean condition, correct?  
Anyway I was not aware of the  Moss Hi-Performance gaskets and just ordered two 
of them. 
 
Hope it's something simple, I have the Six registered for the VTR  National 
Convention on Jekyll Island in a few weeks since the TR6 is the  featured 
marque.  Always something! I suppose I can take another  car.  Ugly, the 76 
VE Edition TR7, comes to mind.  I bet those  southern folks would get a kick 
out of them Spoker Rims on her. Of course she  autox's like a pig.  Oh well 
easy class to run in too.
