[Fot] [6pack] tr250 oil pressure issue

[Andrew Packard]

I'm the guy with the TR250 oil pressure problem.  I replaced my oil pressure regulator spring with a HD one.  The one I took out measured short and the new one was longer than spec from Bentley.  It helped, but after I got well up to temp, pressure disappeared at idle and water boiled over.  I'm travelling for work this week, so I dropped off my car with my mechanic friend with a new oil pump and some plastic gauge to check the bearing clearance.  I'll find out the status soon.  This is more than a little frustrating with Triumphest starting next week.

Did the guy with the oil pressure issue on his new 250 motor ever get this
sorted?  inquiring minds want to know.    

I'm hoping to do a repeat on the
San Diego mechanic with (300,000?) miles on his 250 and never did the bottom
end.  In the Triumph magazine article he said he just does regular oil
changes with STP.    I've shaved the head and a hotter cam so I may have added
additional stress to the engine.  my oil pressure hasn't deteriorated in 16
years of ownerhip.
