I am staying part way tonight and hoping to meet up with Barry Munson who is towing from Canada. The track opens for us on Thursday and I will be there early to help VARA get things set up. We have a parking area for the K Cup cars, if you don't have an RV spot, and we will try and get all parties in together. There will be spaces saved for the TR-250K team and for Peter Brock and his rig. So safe travels to everyone and see at the track. Cheers, Ken PS; The weather looks great at the track this weekend but it will be warm to hot. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It was a very healthy turnout of Triumphs. What a great group! Ken did an excellent job of taking good care of us in a well organized fashion. Joe Siam Too. Buttonwillow is a very fun track. I was a little slow at getting up to speed, but I improved my lap times by over 9 seconds from my last practice session on Friday to the all British race on Sunday. If only the KCup was run on Sunday. I ran 2:22s during the Kastner Cup race and 2:17s during the British race on Sunday, finishing 9th of 27. I had a little problem with my TR3 for the first time in it's 17 events. It would not rev over 5,500 rpm beginning on Friday, although once I figured out a good flow of the track, I was really having a blast. On Friday, I had my first spin and thanks to Walt Hollowell's efforts, I was lucky not to collect anyone or hit the only wall at Buttonwillow. Walt was a couple feet from hitting me in the driver door and I floored the throttle to keep the car rotating out of his way. The 360 spin ended a couple feet from a tire barrier still on pavement. Congratulations to Brian Howlett. His Kastner Cup win was well deserved. He was really flying in his TR4. Unfortunately, he didn't fair as well in his Morgan during the Sunday British race. A lap after he passed me, his car broke an axle right in front of me in the esses. A wild series of spins followed. Stay tuned for videos.

This was the first time I was able to attend and it was better than I hoped. Great cars, drivers and racing. Racing photography has been my thing for 40 or so years now, so here is my contribution to the effort. The link below should take you to a Google Album of photos.

I did a lot of driving, got to see Death Valley for the first time, I drove through some pretty desolate country during the course of the trip.? Enterprise gave me a nice discount since they messed up on the Sirius XM radio request. I was bummed I forgot the chairs I meant to bring, with my hip the way it is I can't stand or walk too long, need to rest often. Also bummed I didn't tape up that poster I brought.? It was from the 2002 Mid Ohio Triumph event, a reminder of the location of next year's Cup event.? I set it on a table when I got there, got sidetracked and it disappeared.? Oh well, hope whoever took it left behind a donation to the cause. Got to see some great people, some great cars.? Kind of surprised how few pictures there are on my phone of the event.? DId get a short video of the beginning of the first lap of the race, with John Mueller in the TR8 leading the way.? Brian Howlett's 4A is way faster than a 4 banger should be, like Barker's Herald. The weekend got me inspired, I HAVE to get a running Triumph in my life this summer.? A bigger goal. of course, would be getting the Killer Spit back on track and entered in an upcoming Kastner Cup event. We shall see. mjb.

While my racing weekend was cut short by a number of self inflicted ills, the company and surrounding events were fantastic starting at Jerry and Jan Barker's home on Wednesday. Mordy Dunst is an amazing chef and host among all of his other skills. He managed to win the Union Jack Challenge race on Sunday going away as well. Many have supported my quest to get the former Doug Brown Spitfire back on the track after it's 43 year nap. I thank all of you for that. Kas among all his other duties and commitments took the time to teach me spark plugs, carb float levels and mixture settings. I saw my first fouled plug on Friday! We learned lots and will learn more as we now have a bit of breathing space to the next event. Thanks again Amici! What a great event...Mid Ohio 2020 anyone??

What a great event...Mid Ohio 2020 anyone?? Yes, a great weekend, wish I had remembered the BBQ was Wednesday, not Thursday.? I am planning on Mid Ohio next year. May fly into Indianapolis to visit an old friend, drive to the track from there.? Think it will be the first time I make 2 in a row, if it happens. On a side note, one comment I got several times during the weekend was how much people appreciated the new and much improved response time for list emails.?

But > that didn?t make any difference in my case. > Unfortunately, pumps are almost always rated by their flow rate through an open orifice, and one has to figure in the pumping losses through the engine.? So, if an engine produces x amount of heat per minute, then the actual flow rate, given the specific heat of water, has to be able to remove x amount of heat per minute.? A cast-iron engine with lots of rusty-crusties in the passages is certainly going to have a flow rate a fair amount lower than an open orifice (not that those rusty-crusties aren't important--heat transfer off of rusty cast iron is higher than with any other metal because of the surface area). The other big problem with pumps is that one needs to know their flow at specific head pressures, because without the pump being able to build pressure and still move fluid, hot-running engines will inevitably succumb to nucleate boiling and overheat. In theory, one could have an electric pump that's more efficient than a mechanical one, in the same way that electric fans, with the maximum efficiency blade pitch matched to the motor rpm, are more efficient than engine-driven fans.? However, I suspect that the makers of the kits out there are assembling them from the parts available, not engineering them to requirements.

References: Message-ID: Some of you may have heard about a New Yorkers? attempt to get to the K Cup last weekend, but here?s the skinny: After long weeks of long days, I finished repairing bodywork from when I smacked the wall backwards at the Canadian Vintage Gran Prix at Mosport last June, and the car reassembled (just) in time to depart New York?s Hudson Valley on Sunday morning, April 28. Of course, the one thing I didn?t have time to do before loading was to get the car running. Since I was planning on passing through Dayton, I called a long time Sunbeam club friend and asked for help. (How tough is it to get a tractor engine to run?!) Doug Jennings, who owned Tiger Auto in Dayton for decades before retiring a few years ago was the perfect choice. I arrived at Doug?s around 8:30, had a quick bite of his wife?s (wonderful!) Lasagna, and winched the car into his garage to get the tr3 started. 3 hours later, nothing. Bupkis. Nada. We could not get the car to even cough using starting fluid! New plugs the next morning didn?t matter. The car would. not. start. I left Dayton for home sometime after noon the next day, an unhappy camper. Disappointing as it was, there still is no sense in dragging a dead race car to California and back. So, I went home. There is spark, fuel and (barely)compression. When I got home I took it to another Brit car friend who owns a shop and offered to give it a look. We measured an average 105 lbs for comp (it should have done SOMETHING!) and timing was judged to be correct. What we did not do was a leak down test. I don?t know why we didn?t think of that before removing the head... Where the heck is mine when I need it?! Head removal revealed some scoring of the walls, ugly corrosion in the chambers, but nothing blatant. When I crashed last year, apparently the top rad hose popped off the spout and water was introduced into the intake. Who knew!? I hit the wall backwards after rounding turn 10, and the little birdies were flying around the little stars before I shut down the motor and gingerly extricated myself from the car. I didn?t know for 6 more weeks that I had a handful of broken vertebrae (thank you, HANS device..!), now fully repaired with the neurosurgeons approval to race, by the way. I discovered the water evidence when I had to remove the manifolds to weld up the ripped exhaust collector. Inside the ports were rust remains that definitely should not have been there- and the starter didn?t spin the motor until I pulled plugs, squirted WD-40 into the cyls and bumped the started button until it loosened up and spun freely. Next season, when the water is drained for winter, it will get the cylinders lubricated! That is, when I finally get the darn thing to run... My big adventure was a bust. Bummed I missed it (a good one, from all the great comments!), bummed I didn?t get to see west coast friends, but still determined to be at Mid-Ohio next year! Since I?ve had the head and manifolds off a number of times, it?s time for a new gaskets (both head and manifold). The solid copper gasket worked great, but took me at least three tries to get it to seal after the prev head gasket failed at the ?17 Lime Rock Historics. I ended up using silicone ll. It worked, but it?s messy and unorthodox. So, does anyone have a suggestion for replacement gaskets? I?m not trying to be a frontrunner, I just crave reliability at this point- a weekend where I can drive off the trailer, race, and drive back on the trailer with nothing broken or suspect. Just once! Down, but not out. Yours truly, Rick McCurdy Newburgh, NY I know... I know, I waited a long time to work on the car, but I was working on restoring a friends big Healey, and that had priority.

An additional feature of this schedule is that the Black Hawk Classic is ALWAYS on Father?s Day Weekend. It is possible to run back to back weekends. (Uncle Jack and I did, once.) I hope to meet with SVRA next weekend, but that has not been set. Casual planning has been ongoing for a year, now we will step up the activity.

Some of you may have heard about a New Yorkers? attempt to get to the?K Cup last weekend, but here?s the skinny: After long weeks of long days, I finished repairing bodywork from when I smacked the wall backwards at the Canadian Vintage Gran Prix at Mosport last June, and the car reassembled (just) in time to depart New York?s Hudson Valley on Sunday morning, ?April 28. Of course, the one thing I didn?t have?time to do before loading was to get the car running. Since I was planning on passing through Dayton, I called a long time Sunbeam club friend and asked for help. (How tough is it to get a tractor engine to run?!) Doug Jennings, who owned Tiger Auto in Dayton for decades before retiring a few years ago was the perfect choice. I arrived at Doug?s around 8:30, had a quick bite of his wife?s (wonderful!) Lasagna, and winched the car into his garage to get the tr3 started. 3 hours later, nothing. Bupkis. Nada. We could not get the car to even cough using starting fluid! New plugs the next morning didn?t matter. The car would. not. start.? I left Dayton for home sometime after noon the next day, an unhappy camper. Disappointing as it was, there still is no sense in dragging a dead race car to California and back. So, I went home.? There is spark, fuel and (barely)compression.

Fire ring is round, so you may need to go larger than cylinder diameter to minimize protrusion in the eyebrow of the intake pocket in the head. The have up to 91 mm diameter if you call them (website just shows 88 mm). Two thicknesses are available too. I run the 91 mm diameter one. For intake gasket, Remflex is the way to go if you have sealing issues. They have a pre cut option, or you can buy partial sheets and make your own. I make my own because the intake port holes are too large and my intake manifold has narrow sealing surfaces.

Availability Status. Message-ID: <4C7E14C5-D993-4EA4-905D-13352FE67A0F@gmail.com> FOT: I ran 100 decals, thinking that I would have them for a long time. Not so. I am now down to 25 3 x 5 decals. $10 = 4 decals delivered. $2.50 each after the first four. I ran 100 special edition 17 x 11 collectible posters with artwork by Steve Belfer. They are gone, but I am going to do a short run. $15 protected in a new mailing tube and delivered. This Kastner Cup, produced by Chair Ken Knight, was an exceptional event that will be remembered for a very long time. ????????????????????- In addition to the Kastner Cup Event, there was a historical reunion of Kas Kastner, Peter Brock, and the TR250K. Converging from Washington, Nevada, and California, this unlikely to happen again. A celebration of a great automotive legacy with two automotive icons. The Kastner Cup and the FOT are on a roll. See you at Mid-Ohio in 2020. It?s where it all began.

Of course, the one thing I didn?t have time to do before loading was to get the car running. Since I was planning on passing through Dayton, I called a long time Sunbeam club friend and asked for help. (How tough is it to get a tractor engine to run?!) Doug Jennings, who owned Tiger Auto in Dayton for decades before retiring a few years ago was the perfect choice. > > I arrived at Doug?s around 8:30, had a quick bite of his wife?s (wonderful!) Lasagna, and winched the car into his garage to get the tr3 started. 3 hours later, nothing. Bupkis. Nada. We could not get the car to even cough using starting fluid!

When I got home I took it to another Brit car friend who owns a shop and offered to give it a look. We measured an average 105 lbs for comp (it should have done SOMETHING!) and timing was judged to be correct. What we did not do was a leak down test. I don?t know why we didn?t think of that before removing the head... Where the heck is mine when I need it?! > > Head removal revealed some scoring of the walls, ugly corrosion in the chambers, but nothing blatant. When I crashed last year, apparently the top rad hose popped off the spout and water was introduced into the intake. Who knew!? I hit the wall backwards after rounding turn 10, and the little birdies were flying around the little stars before I shut down the motor and gingerly extricated myself from the car. I didn?t know for 6 more weeks that I had a handful of broken vertebrae (thank you, HANS device..!), now fully repaired with the neurosurgeons approval to race, by the way. I discovered the water evidence when I had to remove the manifolds to weld up the ripped exhaust collector. Inside the ports were rust remains that definitely should not have been there- and the starter didn?t spin the motor until I pulled plugs, squirted WD-40 into the cyls and bumped the started button until it loosened up and spun freely. > Next season, when the water is drained for winter, it will get the cylinders lubricated!

The solid copper gasket worked great, but took me at least three tries to get it to seal after the prev head gasket failed at the ?17 Lime Rock Historics. I ended up using silicone ll. It worked, but it?s messy and unorthodox. > > So, does anyone have a suggestion for replacement gaskets?

The Production race was notable because my little 1147 GP Spit was out there with a GT1 car driven by a well known former TR6 driver. I drew him aside at the driver's meeting and said "Paul, I'll do my best to stay out of your way, but with the closing speed you'll have on me, I might get surprised." He said "Just drive your race kid, I'll worry about staying out of your way", flashed that famous smile and wandered back to his trailer. We both won our class, Though I think I was about 4 laps down on him. iii On Mon, May 20, 2019 at 8:39 PM fubog1 via Fot wrote: > Well now that the rumors have started, I expect that the owner/driver will > jump in here at some point with his side of the story... > Glen > ps- yeah it was like bringing a knife to a gunfight with those treaded > tires ha ha! > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Terry Stetler > To: fubog1 ; fot at Autox.Team.Net > Sent: Mon, May 20, 2019 5:36 pm > Subject: RE: [Fot] Rumortime, an E-prod TR-3 on treaded tires??? > > Can?t wait for the after action report. > > Terry > > Sent from Mail for > Windows 10 > > ------------------------------ > *From:* fubog1 > *Sent:* Monday, May 20, 2019 12:29:59 PM > *To:* TLizzard at msn.com; fot at Autox.Team.Net > *Subject:* Re: [Fot] Rumortime, an E-prod TR-3 on treaded tires??? > > As a matter of fact it was, and now that I'm thinking about it, I > recognize the car from somewhere... > Glen > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Terry Stetler > To: fubog1 ; fot at Autox.Team.Net > Sent: Mon, May 20, 2019 12:23 pm > Subject: RE: [Fot] Rumortime, an E-prod TR-3 on treaded tires??? > > Might that TR3 have been red on color? > > Terry Stetler > > Sent from Mail > > for Windows 10 > > ------------------------------ > *From:* Fot on behalf of fubog1 via Fot < > fot at autox.team.net> > *Sent:* Monday, May 20, 2019 8:13:46 AM > *To:* fot at Autox.Team.Net > *Subject:* [Fot] Rumortime, an E-prod TR-3 on treaded tires??? > > I don't have any details, (I know nuthink!), but scuttlebutt is that a > certain Vintage driver (name withheld to avoid possible embarrassment) > showed up with a Vintage TR-3 racecar with Vintage treaded tires on it, > down at PBIR this past weekend... but... the problem was that it was a SCCA > SAARC Regional race, no Vintage class. > Not to be deterred by that minor detail, a couple pieces of white paper > and a home printer produced a very nice "EP"... and it was "off to the > races" for our intrepid Vintage race... > > Glen > _______________________________________________ > fot at autox.team.net > > http://www.fot-racing.com > > Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html > Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot > Unsubscribe/Manage : > http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/bownes at web9.com > > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: I just had a great weekend at Summit Point, perfect weather, four days and lots of track time, some quick laps and good racing. After my last session, I noticed some dripping oil as I put the car in the trailer. Got it home to find a half full catch can (1 pint?), and evidence of oil blowing out of the valve cover cap vent hole. Tonight I ran a compression test and leakdown test. Cold engine results: 1 - 200 and 2% 2- 180 and 6% 3 - 180 and 9% 4 - 195 and 0% 5 - 190 and 0% 6 - 185 and 0% Note - I suspect my longacre leakdown gauge may not be reading quite right, as when i have the air side set to 100, the leakdown % on the last three is slightly below zero. So, perhaps the leakdown on the first three is higher. There was no excess oil until the last session. Oil pressure is about 50 hot at idle and 65 - 75 at speed, depending on RPM. EGT readings remained in the 1200 - 1250 range across three monitored cylinders at top speed What do i have - failing rings?

Cold numbers don't really count. The numbers that you give look pretty good from a leakdown perspective. As a point of reference, with >10% leakdown into the sump in a couple of cylinders, you will see oil drip out of the strangest places (like around the nuts holding the valve cover down and the filler cap to which you refer.) So, either your gauge is lying or you need to verify your numbers with the engine at operating temps (and see if the numbers change). If you have access to another gauge, that might help figure out if anything is wrong. Oh, and is there any oil fouling on the plugs?

"The leak down gauge is simply a 100 psi gauge that reads backwards from a tire pressure gauge. Basically if you have 100 psi going to your cylinder and it doesn?t leak down at all then it will show you 0 leak down and/or 100 psi if it was a normal pressure gauge. If your regulator is set higher then 100 then the leakdown gauge will go below zero because its showing a higher pressure." So, one of my gauges is no longer reading correctly, as I?m getting a higher pressure on the cylinder than on the supply, on some cylinders. Have to swap them out to figure out which, and then I?ll be able to determine how much leakdown there really is. More to follow this weekend!

It seems that getting the tires on the painted concrete while under full throttle is not conducive to forward movement. I was lucky to get away with this one unscathed. As I start to spin I look to my left to see Walt coming toward my door with his TR6, so I hit the throttle to get out of his way completing a 360. Also, the only concrete wall at the track was close by too. I gave a no harm done woohoo when I came to a stop. I catch another slide while passing a Mini around the 7 minute mark.

Change your regulator setting and you?ll have no leakdown! Problem solved. You?re welcome. :-) Scott (B.) From: Fot On Behalf Of Scott Janzen via Fot Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2019 10:50 AM To: John Styduhar Cc: 'Friends of Triumph' Triumph Subject: Re: [Fot] Oil Blow-by Cause? Update. Haven?t figured out the problem yet, but I thought this explanation from Longacre on how a leakdown gauge works might interest you all. "The leak down gauge is simply a 100 psi gauge that reads backwards from a tire pressure gauge. Basically if you have 100 psi going to your cylinder and it doesn?t leak down at all then it will show you 0 leak down and/or 100 psi if it was a normal pressure gauge. If your regulator is set higher then 100 then the leakdown gauge will go below zero because its showing a higher pressure." So, one of my gauges is no longer reading correctly, as I?m getting a higher pressure on the cylinder than on the supply, on some cylinders. Have to swap them out to figure out which, and then I?ll be able to determine how much leakdown there really is. More to follow this weekend!

The numbers that you give look pretty good from a leakdown perspective. As a point of reference, with >10% leakdown into the sump in a couple of cylinders, you will see oil drip out of the strangest places (like around the nuts holding the valve cover down and the filler cap to which you refer.) So, either your gauge is lying or you need to verify your numbers with the engine at operating temps (and see if the numbers change). If you have access to another gauge, that might help figure out if anything is wrong. Oh, and is there any oil fouling on the plugs? Blow by should also introduce some oil into the cylinders when you lift off... I think Marcel's suggestion has merit. Let us know if you find anything.

Marcel ________________________________ Van: "fot" > Aan: "fot" > Verzonden: Woensdag 22 mei 2019 04:31:47 Onderwerp: [Fot] Oil Blow-by Cause? I just had a great weekend at Summit Point, perfect weather, four days and lots of track time, some quick laps and good racing. After my last session, I noticed some dripping oil as I put the car in the trailer. Got it home to find a half full catch can (1 pint?), and evidence of oil blowing out of the valve cover cap vent hole. Tonight I ran a compression test and leakdown test. Cold engine results: 1 - 200 and 2% 2- 180 and 6% 3 - 180 and 9% 4 - 195 and 0% 5 - 190 and 0% 6 - 185 and 0% Note - I suspect my longacre leakdown gauge may not be reading quite right, as when i have the air side set to 100, the leakdown % on the last three is slightly below zero. So, perhaps the leakdown on the first three is higher. There was no excess oil until the last session. Oil pressure is about 50 hot at idle and 65 - 75 at speed, depending on RPM. EGT readings remained in the 1200 - 1250 range across three monitored cylinders at top speed What do i have - failing rings? Any diagnosis or tests you recommend before I start pulling the thing apart would be appreciated. Triumphs racing - I?m sure I?m missing a few but this is who I remember.

My thanks to all those who put me forward and supported me. It may be that my current car, SofS, is more historic than I am - I built my previous two race Vitesses, Old Blue from a standard Vitesse, and Silverback from a Herald 13/60 Estate. SofS was first registered as a road car in 1970, and was modified for racing in about 1980, I don't know who by, but it was raced by Mike "Barney Rubble" Barnes in the UK TSSC series. It then was owned by Mark Plausin and worked on by John Sadler of "Trioomph", who had his own Vitesse and raced together as a team. I raced my first, Old Blue Vitesse against them, and I enclose pictures of my car now and then from the 90s, when John was driving it. Old Blue went to the Great Garage in the Sky in an accident, and I elected to build Silverback as an experiment in aerodynamics. Inspired by the Volvo estates then racing in the British Touring Car Championship, I went further and built it rear-radiatored, with a front spoiler from Old Blue and side skirts, to minimise undercar airflow. I can't claim any down force, but I think we had less lift! Wiped out on the N?rburgring by a Group 2 Porsche, two weeks later I found SofS on sale from the back of Mark Plausin's barn. It was meant to be mine! But twelve years of storage, some ill-advised suspension and engine building had taken their toll, and I transplanted the engine, front and rear suspension from Silverback into it, and named it Son of Silverback, SofS, as it had so many of it's father's parts. Mark had a GRP coupe roof on it, as had Old Blue because of the Regs of one series we ran in, and after the glasshouse of the estate I found that cramped and pokey. So I fitted the roof from Old Blue and SofS has its grandfather's hat on as well! Since then, we've competed in the Classic Sports Car Club Swinging 60s (!) series, been to Le Mans (to visit the Classic) and Spa (to race). Currently working on a new 2.5L engine to complement the Lucas Pi that is fitted. Some pics enclosed, of SofS today, and long ago next to Old Blue. And for completeness, of Silverback in it's pomp. Best wishes, and looking forward to news of US Triumph racing! JOhn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It had been a while since I'd driven my beautiful and well prepared TR3 (thanks to Glen Efinger!) and reviewing the upcoming options to do so, most interfered with family travel plans for the summer. So, since this event was essentially in my back yard.....6 miles from my driveway.....it was the perfect opportunity. For the previous month I sucked up to the Chief of Tech and the Race Chairman to let the things that prevented my car from being fully EP legal slide for this one time. That worked well and we slid thru registration and tech with not a flinch. The next opportunity for it to go bad was on the grid. But, as you can see in the pic, there I was next to a fully prepared Spitfire driven by my friend and team mate Tim Slater. Then, I hold my breath for the first couple of laps wondering if the stewards (SCCA has a ton of them at every event) would have me black flagged. They did not. Here's the bottom line - there must be something to those flares/slicks/fancy suspension/fancy brakes/after market transmissions and on and on. Tim's yellow Spit quickly became a dot ahead of me in spite of my lap times being in the range of what I can turn on this same track in a vintage race. For a while I was able to hold off the VW that was running last. But, even that didnt work for the entire 15 lap race and my 30+ year friend and I eventually finished dead f&^ing last. Oh, well. But, I have now checked off one more item from the list of things I'd like to achieve. Mike Subject: [Fot] Rumortime, an E-prod TR-3 on treaded tires??? I don't have any details, (I know nuthink!), but scuttlebutt is that a certain Vintage driver (name withheld to avoid possible embarrassment) showed up with a Vintage TR-3 racecar with Vintage treaded tires on it, down at PBIR this past weekend... but... the problem was that it was a SCCA SAARC Regional race, no Vintage class. Not to be deterred by that minor detail, a couple pieces of white paper and a home printer produced a very nice "EP"... and it was "off to the races" for our intrepid Vintage race...

When mounting and tightening the pressure plate, the fingers should move inward no more than 2 or 3mm. You can correct this by putting washers between the six feet of the PP and the flywheel. These washers ought to be hard steel : shims, not common mild steel washers.

The thickness of the disc directly affects the geometry that the PP has to work within by design.If the disc is too thin, there will be weak clamping force and it'll slip, and it will take a "long" pedal to release.If too thick, the release will be too high and it will probably slip under load.Generally if I use a thicker disc, I shim the difference between it and a stock disc, and check it in the press if any question.Glen -----Original Message----- From: Barr, Scott via Fot To: Phil Gott ; van.mulders.marcel at telenet.be ; fot at autox.team.net Sent: Fri, May 24, 2019 8:56 am Subject: Re: [Fot] laycock clutch question #yiv9840522145 #yiv9840522145 -- _filtered #yiv9840522145 {panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv9840522145 {font-family:Calibri;panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv9840522145 {panose-1:2 11 5 2 2 2 2 2 2 4;} _filtered #yiv9840522145 {font-family:Verdana;panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4;} #yiv9840522145 #yiv9840522145 p.yiv9840522145MsoNormal, #yiv9840522145 li.yiv9840522145MsoNormal, #yiv9840522145 div.yiv9840522145MsoNormal {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:New serif;} #yiv9840522145 a:link, #yiv9840522145 span.yiv9840522145MsoHyperlink {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;} #yiv9840522145 a:visited, #yiv9840522145 span.yiv9840522145MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple;text-decoration:underline;} #yiv9840522145 p.yiv9840522145msonormal0, #yiv9840522145 li.yiv9840522145msonormal0, #yiv9840522145 div.yiv9840522145msonormal0 {margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:New serif;} #yiv9840522145 span.yiv9840522145EmailStyle18 {font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;} #yiv9840522145 .yiv9840522145MsoChpDefault {font-size:10.0pt;} _filtered #yiv9840522145 {margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;} #yiv9840522145 div.yiv9840522145WordSection1 {} #yiv9840522145 I?m curious about Glen?s comment on shimming the pressure plate.?

In other words the shim required is usually pretty thin, it's almost a matter of fine-tuning a given combination, not to correct another problem...

Marcel, Brian; I agree with Marcel?s last email. If the fingers point inward, your clutch disc is too thick, indicating that the disc and Pressure Plate are incompatible. Best solution is to get a thinner disc or a compatible PP. Hope this clears up any confusion. Phil Sent from my iPhone On May 24, 2019, at 7:25 AM, van.mulders.marcel at telenet.be wrote: ? So we don't agree; maybe, if the fingers end up flat after tightening, it still can be normal, but if they are pointing inwards a bit, it is not correct. You can made a decision by measuring how much the fingers are moving inward when tightening the bolts : if it is more than 3 mm it is not correct and the feel in the clutch pedal won't be normal eather.

The result was a limited set of porous castings that wept oil and coolant when at working temperature, and the problem couldn't be solved by substituting parts, because they all had the same fault. This is a problem with any small run of parts that don't receive adequate attention from the foundry.? I recall one model of Ferrari twelve-cylinder heads that did the same thing.? The cheap fix today is to inject the casting with a loose epoxy slurry under pressure and refinish all the surfaces.? The expensive one is to reproduce the castings using better methods.

There was no oil leaking out around the valve cover gasket itself, though it was blowing out these breather holes and the pinhole in the top of the valve cover cap. Return of oil to the crank - oil flows back from the head through all of the pushrod galleys. I cannot see how they could possibly be obstructed. You do bring up an interesting point - is there possibly substantially more flow to the rocker arm assembly all of a sudden? The only way this could happen is if there were significant wear on the assembly that now allows a huge oil flow. This was not a problem that was building all weekend. I have the bonnet open after every race, have a meticulous engine compartment with a dry engine and clean surfaces - this was a sudden change from the last race saturday to after the only race sunday.

I have another diff that will be coming out of a Spitfire, but I want to install a Quaife limited slip unit in it.? Does anyone know of a good builder whom can do this and rebuild the unit entirely and PROPERLY?? I know of Quantum Mechanics in CT, but have not had good results with that outfit of late.? I am on the East Coast and would prefer to use someone here if possible, but I am open to shipping the diffs wherever if necessary.? Any help is appreciated!? Thanks!?

Engine main bearings are prone to failure.Check crank end float.Compression check.Check gearbox for smooth shifts up and down and no excessive whine low & reverse.If the oil leak is directly @ L/H rear, coming from the head gasket, it's likely weeping from the oil feed hole to the top.The rest is pretty much basic car, and any old Spitfire is likely gonna be a project, so in that sense it sounds perfect.Re value, it would have to be a good solid running Spit for that $$, but that's totally subjective.I've long told folks who are getting into Brit sports cars, to try a Spit of Sprite/Midget first, to get a taste of it, and if one can deal with maintenance etc on one of them it's time to step up into a real sports car, a B or big TR, etc.(not to piss off any Spitfire owners...)

The "track" was basically a mile long autocross, cone lined run around the worst of the broken concrete and potholes of the old airfield.? The fellow who ran it back then got tired of the amount of energy, time and money it was costing him to keep it alive, and kind of burned out on racing and sports cars altogether.? At least there's a real race track in the area now, but as far as I know no one else has stepped up to revive or replace IVR in Utah.? Too bad. mjb.

Those that have never been there should experience it at least once. Currently there is a $100 discount until June 1st. Realize also with the exchange rate, this is a very reasonably priced event. Crossing into Canada is easy and camping is free with plenty of paddock space. It?s an experience to not be missed. Our hosts provide entertainment and a roaming dinner on Friday night, usually consisting of a number of types of wings; subs; beverages and deserts. and also there is a banquet on Saturday night. A number of Triumph folks are regulars at this event. I will be doing tech again this year and can answer any questions. To coin an old clich?, ?Try it you?ll like it!? The Triumph and MGs will be in the paddock area at the exit from the false grid. Can I get a head count? Once again there is a Triumph/MG Challenge with the awarding of the Group 44 Inc Trophy.

The only difference between the gearboxes is two extra flange bolts on the Tr6 bellhousing, for which holes can easily be drilled on the plate. the rear of the engine block is identical and the plate bolts right up as the blocks are essentially the same (a bit more block stiffening in sides of the later TR6 blocks, I think). Starter lines right up on the same flywheel. Can?t speak for Spitfire. On May 31, 2019, at 5:25 AM, Brian Dennis via Fot wrote: The tr6, gt6 and Spitfire rear engine plates will bolt onto any of the above. They are NOT however a direct interchange. When I was installing the tr6 box into the gt6 motor there was a bolt or pin hole missing on the factory plate. I ended up using the tr6 alloy plate on the gt6 motor with the tr6 box. The aftermarket alloy plates for tr6 and gt6 are the same. At least all that I have seen. Regarding the Spitfire: the starter is on the left side vs the tr6 & gt6 are on the right. Therefore the six cylinder engine plate will not work on the four cylinder motor. Between the early and late four cylinder engine plates they will all bolt on however I believe the later plates have an extra bolt hole or two vs the early 4 cylinder. This is all from memory.

It was a very healthy turnout of Triumphs. What a great group! Ken did an excellent job of taking good care of us in a well organized fashion. Joe Siam Too. Buttonwillow is a very fun track. I was a little slow at getting up to speed, but I improved my lap times by over 9 seconds from my last practice session on Friday to the all British race on Sunday. If only the KCup was run on Sunday. I ran 2:22s during the Kastner Cup race and 2:17s during the British race on Sunday, finishing 9th of 27. I had a little problem with my TR3 for the first time in it's 17 events. It would not rev over 5,500 rpm beginning on Friday, although once I figured out a good flow of the track, I was really having a blast. On Friday, I had my first spin and thanks to Walt Hollowell's efforts, I was lucky not to collect anyone or hit the only wall at Buttonwillow. Walt was a couple feet from hitting me in the driver door and I floored the throttle to keep the car rotating out of his way. The 360 spin ended a couple feet from a tire barrier still on pavement. Congratulations to Brian Howlett. His Kastner Cup win was well deserved. He was really flying in his TR4. Unfortunately, he didn't fair as well in his Morgan during the Sunday British race. A lap after he passed me, his car broke an axle right in front of me in the esses. A wild series of spins followed. Stay tuned for videos.

The footage is awesome and will really help tell the story. To those who ran GoPros and were unaware that I am putting together a video telling the story of the race ? It?s not too late to have your footage included. Just respond to this email and I?ll send you a link where you can upload the video - or an address to mail your SD card (I will pay postage both ways!) If you have video from trackside I would love that too. This is very much a passion project, and all those who provide footage will get a special mention in the credits. I had such a great time watching history being made and would like to especially thank Joe Alexander for giving me the opportunity to meet and work with such a great group of people. Also a shout-out to Cregg Cowan who did such a professional job with the other camera.

This was the first time I was able to attend and it was better than I hoped. Great cars, drivers and racing. Racing photography has been my thing for 40 or so years now, so here is my contribution to the effort. The link below should take you to a Google Album of photos.

I did a lot of driving, got to see Death Valley for the first time, I drove through some pretty desolate country during the course of the trip.? Enterprise gave me a nice discount since they messed up on the Sirius XM radio request. I was bummed I forgot the chairs I meant to bring, with my hip the way it is I can't stand or walk too long, need to rest often. Also bummed I didn't tape up that poster I brought.? It was from the 2002 Mid Ohio Triumph event, a reminder of the location of next year's Cup event.? I set it on a table when I got there, got sidetracked and it disappeared.? Oh well, hope whoever took it left behind a donation to the cause. Got to see some great people, some great cars.? Kind of surprised how few pictures there are on my phone of the event.? DId get a short video of the beginning of the first lap of the race, with John Mueller in the TR8 leading the way.? Brian Howlett's 4A is way faster than a 4 banger should be, like Barker's Herald. The weekend got me inspired, I HAVE to get a running Triumph in my life this summer.? A bigger goal. of course, would be getting the Killer Spit back on track and entered in an upcoming Kastner Cup event. We shall see. mjb.

While my racing weekend was cut short by a number of self inflicted ills, the company and surrounding events were fantastic starting at Jerry and Jan Barker's home on Wednesday. Mordy Dunst is an amazing chef and host among all of his other skills. He managed to win the Union Jack Challenge race on Sunday going away as well. Many have supported my quest to get the former Doug Brown Spitfire back on the track after it's 43 year nap. I thank all of you for that. Kas among all his other duties and commitments took the time to teach me spark plugs, carb float levels and mixture settings. I saw my first fouled plug on Friday! We learned lots and will learn more as we now have a bit of breathing space to the next event. Thanks again Amici! What a great event...Mid Ohio 2020 anyone??

May fly into Indianapolis to visit an old friend, drive to the track from there.? Think it will be the first time I make 2 in a row, if it happens.

I was especially relieved that he didn't chastise me for so blatantly copying his paint scheme. Hopefully he knows its because of the spell it put on me when I first saw Carl driving it at Phoenix international in early 70's! It was also great to see all the Mueller pictures and meeting John and his mom. Lee was also a big influence in my early SCCA days and lent a hand several times at Riverside, Holtville and anywhere else where he saw we could use some friendly advice. He was a true racer's racer. Also high on the list of true racers there was Joe Huffaker. If there is a nicer guy on the planet, I don't know who he could possibly be. I raced with him for years in SCCA, and he has always been not only the consummate racer, but all round good guy. I want to say in closing we had a great time and just want to thank everyone who made it possible. We look forward to making it to more events.

When we could, we'd tow in tandem, and maintain contact with CB radios.? Listening to audio books was always my crutch for long tows. ? Absolutely put MID-OHIO on your list.? Start making plans. Bill Dentinger -----Original Message----- From: CHARLES KENT via Fot To: fot Sent: Wed, May 8, 2019 9:22 pm Subject: [Fot] Kastner Cup Hi, I just wanted to express our gratitude to the FOT people who are charged with making the location choices for the cup. I don't know if we would have ventured back east for our initial kc event, so the west coast race made it easy for us being from phoenix. I am afraid we are hooked now and will indeed make some long tows. It was an absolute pleasure meeting so many tr racers, and how great it was to talk with Mr. Kastner to remember my first dealings with him and Carl Swanson when I first started racing our 6. I was especially relieved that he didn't chastise me for so blatantly copying his paint scheme. Hopefully he knows its because of the spell it put on me when I first saw Carl driving it at Phoenix international in early 70's! It was also great to see all the Mueller pictures and meeting John and his mom. Lee was also a big influence in my early SCCA days and lent a hand several times at Riverside, Holtville and anywhere else where he saw we could use some friendly advice. He was a true racer's racer. Also high on the list of? true racers there was Joe Huffaker. If there is a nicer guy on the planet, I don't know who he could possibly be. I raced with him for years in SCCA, and he has always been not only the consummate racer, but all round good guy.? I want to say in closing? we had a great time and just want to thank everyone who made it possible. We look forward to making it to more events.?

But > that didn?t make any difference in my case. > Unfortunately, pumps are almost always rated by their flow rate through an open orifice, and one has to figure in the pumping losses through the engine.? So, if an engine produces x amount of heat per minute, then the actual flow rate, given the specific heat of water, has to be able to remove x amount of heat per minute.? A cast-iron engine with lots of rusty-crusties in the passages is certainly going to have a flow rate a fair amount lower than an open orifice (not that those rusty-crusties aren't important--heat transfer off of rusty cast iron is higher than with any other metal because of the surface area). The other big problem with pumps is that one needs to know their flow at specific head pressures, because without the pump being able to build pressure and still move fluid, hot-running engines will inevitably succumb to nucleate boiling and overheat. In theory, one could have an electric pump that's more efficient than a mechanical one, in the same way that electric fans, with the maximum efficiency blade pitch matched to the motor rpm, are more efficient than engine-driven fans.? However, I suspect that the makers of the kits out there are assembling them from the parts available, not engineering them to requirements.

I hit the wall backwards after rounding turn 10, and the little birdies were flying around the little stars before I shut down the motor and gingerly extricated myself from the car. I didn?t know for 6 more weeks that I had a handful of broken vertebrae (thank you, HANS device..!), now fully repaired with the neurosurgeons approval to race, by the way. I discovered the water evidence when I had to remove the manifolds to weld up the ripped exhaust collector. Inside the ports were rust remains that definitely should not have been there- and the starter didn?t spin the motor until I pulled plugs, squirted WD-40 into the cyls and bumped the started button until it loosened up and spun freely. Next season, when the water is drained for winter, it will get the cylinders lubricated! That is, when I finally get the darn thing to run... My big adventure was a bust. Bummed I missed it (a good one, from all the great comments!), bummed I didn?t get to see west coast friends, but still determined to be at Mid-Ohio next year!

Fire ring is round, so you may need to go larger than cylinder diameter to minimize protrusion in the eyebrow of the intake pocket in the head. The have up to 91 mm diameter if you call them (website just shows 88 mm). Two thicknesses are available too. I run the 91 mm diameter one. For intake gasket, Remflex is the way to go if you have sealing issues. They have a pre cut option, or you can buy partial sheets and make your own. I make my own because the intake port holes are too large and my intake manifold has narrow sealing surfaces.

As well as footage from my own cameras, there are shots generously provided by drivers. The race portion consists of nine different camera angles, all synchronized to real time to give a blow-by-blow account of some very exciting racing. If you enjoy it, please help me do more by subscribing to my YouTube channel and sharing it with your friends. If you are on Facebook, please also follow my page at https://www.facebook.com/ClassicMotorFilms/ to get updates on future projects. I have plans for other videos related to the event, so it?s not too late if you have footage that didn?t make it into this video.

I am now down to 25 3 x 5 decals. $10 = 4 decals delivered. $2.50 each after the first four. I ran 100 special edition 17 x 11 collectible posters with artwork by Steve Belfer. They are gone, but I am going to do a short run. $15 protected in a new mailing tube and delivered. This Kastner Cup, produced by Chair Ken Knight, was an exceptional event that will be remembered for a very long time. ????????????????????- In addition to the Kastner Cup Event, there was a historical reunion of Kas Kastner, Peter Brock, and the TR250K. Converging from Washington, Nevada, and California, this unlikely to happen again. A celebration of a great automotive legacy with two automotive icons. The Kastner Cup and the FOT are on a roll. See you at Mid-Ohio in 2020. It?s where it all began.

Of course, the one thing I didn?t have time to do before loading was to get the car running. Since I was planning on passing through Dayton, I called a long time Sunbeam club friend and asked for help. (How tough is it to get a tractor engine to run?!) Doug Jennings, who owned Tiger Auto in Dayton for decades before retiring a few years ago was the perfect choice. > > I arrived at Doug?s around 8:30, had a quick bite of his wife?s (wonderful!)

When I got home I took it to another Brit car friend who owns a shop and offered to give it a look. We measured an average 105 lbs for comp (it should have done SOMETHING!) and timing was judged to be correct. What we did not do was a leak down test. I don?t know why we didn?t think of that before removing the head... Where the heck is mine when I need it?! > > Head removal revealed some scoring of the walls, ugly corrosion in the chambers, but nothing blatant. When I crashed last year, apparently the top rad hose popped off the spout and water was introduced into the intake. Who knew!? I hit the wall backwards after rounding turn 10, and the little birdies were flying around the little stars before I shut down the motor and gingerly extricated myself from the car. I didn?t know for 6 more weeks that I had a handful of broken vertebrae (thank you, HANS device..!), now fully repaired with the neurosurgeons approval to race, by the way. I discovered the water evidence when I had to remove the manifolds to weld up the ripped exhaust collector. Inside the ports were rust remains that definitely should not have been there- and the starter didn?t spin the motor until I pulled plugs, squirted WD-40 into the cyls and bumped the started button until it loosened up and spun freely. > Next season, when the water is drained for winter, it will get the cylinders lubricated!

The solid copper gasket worked great, but took me at least three tries to get it to seal after the prev head gasket failed at the ?17 Lime Rock Historics. I ended up using silicone ll. It worked, but it?s messy and unorthodox. > > So, does anyone have a suggestion for replacement gaskets?

The Production race was notable because my little 1147 GP Spit was out there with a GT1 car driven by a well known former TR6 driver. I drew him aside at the driver's meeting and said "Paul, I'll do my best to stay out of your way, but with the closing speed you'll have on me, I might get surprised." He said "Just drive your race kid, I'll worry about staying out of your way", flashed that famous smile and wandered back to his trailer. We both won our class, Though I think I was about 4 laps down on him. iii On Mon, May 20, 2019 at 8:39 PM fubog1 via Fot wrote: > Well now that the rumors have started, I expect that the owner/driver will > jump in here at some point with his side of the story... > Glen > ps- yeah it was like bringing a knife to a gunfight with those treaded > tires ha ha! > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Terry Stetler > To: fubog1 ; fot at Autox.Team.Net > Sent: Mon, May 20, 2019 5:36 pm > Subject: RE: [Fot] Rumortime, an E-prod TR-3 on treaded tires??? > > Can?t wait for the after action report. > > Terry > > Sent from Mail for > Windows 10 > > ------------------------------ > *From:* fubog1 > *Sent:* Monday, May 20, 2019 12:29:59 PM > *To:* TLizzard at msn.com; fot at Autox.Team.Net > *Subject:* Re: [Fot] Rumortime, an E-prod TR-3 on treaded tires??? > > As a matter of fact it was, and now that I'm thinking about it, I > recognize the car from somewhere... > Glen > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Terry Stetler > To: fubog1 ; fot at Autox.Team.Net > Sent: Mon, May 20, 2019 12:23 pm > Subject: RE: [Fot] Rumortime, an E-prod TR-3 on treaded tires??? > > Might that TR3 have been red on color? > > Terry Stetler > > Sent from Mail > > for Windows 10 > > ------------------------------ > *From:* Fot on behalf of fubog1 via Fot < > fot at autox.team.net> > *Sent:* Monday, May 20, 2019 8:13:46 AM > *To:* fot at Autox.Team.Net > *Subject:* [Fot] Rumortime, an E-prod TR-3 on treaded tires??? > > I don't have any details, (I know nuthink!), but scuttlebutt is that a > certain Vintage driver (name withheld to avoid possible embarrassment) > showed up with a Vintage TR-3 racecar with Vintage treaded tires on it, > down at PBIR this past weekend... but... the problem was that it was a SCCA > SAARC Regional race, no Vintage class. > Not to be deterred by that minor detail, a couple pieces of white paper > and a home printer produced a very nice "EP"... and it was "off to the > races" for our intrepid Vintage race... > > Glen > _______________________________________________ > fot at autox.team.net > > http://www.fot-racing.com > > Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html > Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot > Unsubscribe/Manage : > http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/bownes at web9.com > > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Cold numbers don't really count. The numbers that you give look pretty good from a leakdown perspective. As a point of reference, with >10% leakdown into the sump in a couple of cylinders, you will see oil drip out of the strangest places (like around the nuts holding the valve cover down and the filler cap to which you refer.)

If you have access to another gauge, that might help figure out if anything is wrong. Oh, and is there any oil fouling on the plugs? Blow by should also introduce some oil into the cylinders when you lift off... I think Marcel's suggestion has merit. Let us know if you find anything.

"The leak down gauge is simply a 100 psi gauge that reads backwards from a tire pressure gauge. Basically if you have 100 psi going to your cylinder and it doesn?t leak down at all then it will show you 0 leak down and/or 100 psi if it was a normal pressure gauge. If your regulator is set higher then 100 then the leakdown gauge will go below zero because its showing a higher pressure." So, one of my gauges is no longer reading correctly, as I?m getting a higher pressure on the cylinder than on the supply, on some cylinders. Have to swap them out to figure out which, and then I?ll be able to determine how much leakdown there really is. More to follow this weekend!

It seems that getting the tires on the painted concrete while under full throttle is not conducive to forward movement. I was lucky to get away with this one unscathed. As I start to spin I look to my left to see Walt coming toward my door with his TR6, so I hit the throttle to get out of his way completing a 360. Also, the only concrete wall at the track was close by too. I gave a no harm done woohoo when I came to a stop. I catch another slide while passing a Mini around the 7 minute mark.

Change your regulator setting and you?ll have no leakdown! Problem solved. You?re welcome. :-) Scott (B.) From: Fot On Behalf Of Scott Janzen via Fot Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2019 10:50 AM To: John Styduhar Cc: 'Friends of Triumph' Triumph Subject: Re: [Fot] Oil Blow-by Cause? Update. Haven?t figured out the problem yet, but I thought this explanation from Longacre on how a leakdown gauge works might interest you all. "The leak down gauge is simply a 100 psi gauge that reads backwards from a tire pressure gauge. Basically if you have 100 psi going to your cylinder and it doesn?t leak down at all then it will show you 0 leak down and/or 100 psi if it was a normal pressure gauge. If your regulator is set higher then 100 then the leakdown gauge will go below zero because its showing a higher pressure." So, one of my gauges is no longer reading correctly, as I?m getting a higher pressure on the cylinder than on the supply, on some cylinders. Have to swap them out to figure out which, and then I?ll be able to determine how much leakdown there really is. More to follow this weekend!

The numbers that you give look pretty good from a leakdown perspective. As a point of reference, with >10% leakdown into the sump in a couple of cylinders, you will see oil drip out of the strangest places (like around the nuts holding the valve cover down and the filler cap to which you refer.) So, either your gauge is lying or you need to verify your numbers with the engine at operating temps (and see if the numbers change). If you have access to another gauge, that might help figure out if anything is wrong. Oh, and is there any oil fouling on the plugs? Blow by should also introduce some oil into the cylinders when you lift off... I think Marcel's suggestion has merit. Let us know if you find anything.

Marcel ________________________________ Van: "fot" > Aan: "fot" > Verzonden: Woensdag 22 mei 2019 04:31:47 Onderwerp: [Fot] Oil Blow-by Cause? I just had a great weekend at Summit Point, perfect weather, four days and lots of track time, some quick laps and good racing. After my last session, I noticed some dripping oil as I put the car in the trailer. Got it home to find a half full catch can (1 pint?), and evidence of oil blowing out of the valve cover cap vent hole. Tonight I ran a compression test and leakdown test. Cold engine results: 1 - 200 and 2% 2- 180 and 6% 3 - 180 and 9% 4 - 195 and 0% 5 - 190 and 0% 6 - 185 and 0% Note - I suspect my longacre leakdown gauge may not be reading quite right, as when i have the air side set to 100, the leakdown % on the last three is slightly below zero. So, perhaps the leakdown on the first three is higher. There was no excess oil until the last session. Oil pressure is about 50 hot at idle and 65 - 75 at speed, depending on RPM. EGT readings remained in the 1200 - 1250 range across three monitored cylinders at top speed What do i have - failing rings?

My thanks to all those who put me forward and supported me. It may be that my current car, SofS, is more historic than I am - I built my previous two race Vitesses, Old Blue from a standard Vitesse, and Silverback from a Herald 13/60 Estate. SofS was first registered as a road car in 1970, and was modified for racing in about 1980, I don't know who by, but it was raced by Mike "Barney Rubble" Barnes in the UK TSSC series. It then was owned by Mark Plausin and worked on by John Sadler of "Trioomph", who had his own Vitesse and raced together as a team. I raced my first, Old Blue Vitesse against them, and I enclose pictures of my car now and then from the 90s, when John was driving it. Old Blue went to the Great Garage in the Sky in an accident, and I elected to build Silverback as an experiment in aerodynamics. Inspired by the Volvo estates then racing in the British Touring Car Championship, I went further and built it rear-radiatored, with a front spoiler from Old Blue and side skirts, to minimise undercar airflow. I can't claim any down force, but I think we had less lift! Wiped out on the N?rburgring by a Group 2 Porsche, two weeks later I found SofS on sale from the back of Mark Plausin's barn. It was meant to be mine! But twelve years of storage, some ill-advised suspension and engine building had taken their toll, and I transplanted the engine, front and rear suspension from Silverback into it, and named it Son of Silverback, SofS, as it had so many of it's father's parts. Mark had a GRP coupe roof on it, as had Old Blue because of the Regs of one series we ran in, and after the glasshouse of the estate I found that cramped and pokey. So I fitted the roof from Old Blue and SofS has its grandfather's hat on as well! Since then, we've competed in the Classic Sports Car Club Swinging 60s (!) series, been to Le Mans (to visit the Classic) and Spa (to race). Currently working on a new 2.5L engine to complement the Lucas Pi that is fitted. Some pics enclosed, of SofS today, and long ago next to Old Blue. And for completeness, of Silverback in it's pomp. Best wishes, and looking forward to news of US Triumph racing! JOhn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

SofS was first registered as a road car in 1970, and was modified for racing in about 1980, I don't know who by, but it was raced by Mike "Barney Rubble" Barnes in the UK TSSC series. It then was owned by Mark Plausin and worked on by John Sadler of "Trioomph", who had his own Vitesse and raced together as a team. I raced my first, Old Blue Vitesse against them, and I enclose pictures of my car now and then from the 90s, when John was driving it. Old Blue went to the Great Garage in the Sky in an accident, and I elected to build Silverback as an experiment in aerodynamics. Inspired by the Volvo estates then racing in the British Touring Car Championship, I went further and built it rear-radiatored, with a front spoiler from Old Blue and side skirts, to minimise undercar airflow.

It had been a while since I'd driven my beautiful and well prepared TR3 (thanks to Glen Efinger!) and reviewing the upcoming options to do so, most interfered with family travel plans for the summer. So, since this event was essentially in my back yard.....6 miles from my driveway.....it was the perfect opportunity.

When mounting and tightening the pressure plate, the fingers should move inward no more than 2 or 3mm. You can correct this by putting washers between the six feet of the PP and the flywheel. These washers ought to be hard steel : shims, not common mild steel washers.

Just be sure that the throwout bearing is compatible with the ?fingers.? If the fingers are straight the throwout bearing face should be rounded. If the fingers have a crook in them (bent) then the throwout bearing face should be flat. Enjoy your new clutch!

The thickness of the disc directly affects the geometry that the PP has to work within by design.If the disc is too thin, there will be weak clamping force and it'll slip, and it will take a "long" pedal to release.If too thick, the release will be too high and it will probably slip under load.Generally if I use a thicker disc, I shim the difference between it and a stock disc, and check it in the press if any question.Glen -----Original Message----- From: Barr, Scott via Fot To: Phil Gott ; van.mulders.marcel at telenet.be ; fot at autox.team.net Sent: Fri, May 24, 2019 8:56 am Subject: Re: [Fot] laycock clutch question #yiv9840522145 #yiv9840522145 -- _filtered #yiv9840522145 {panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv9840522145 {font-family:Calibri;panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv9840522145 {panose-1:2 11 5 2 2 2 2 2 2 4;} _filtered #yiv9840522145 {font-family:Verdana;panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4;} #yiv9840522145 #yiv9840522145 p.yiv9840522145MsoNormal, #yiv9840522145 li.yiv9840522145MsoNormal, #yiv9840522145 div.yiv9840522145MsoNormal {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:New serif;} #yiv9840522145 a:link, #yiv9840522145 span.yiv9840522145MsoHyperlink {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;} #yiv9840522145 a:visited, #yiv9840522145 span.yiv9840522145MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple;text-decoration:underline;} #yiv9840522145 p.yiv9840522145msonormal0, #yiv9840522145 li.yiv9840522145msonormal0, #yiv9840522145 div.yiv9840522145msonormal0 {margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:New serif;} #yiv9840522145 span.yiv9840522145EmailStyle18 {font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;} #yiv9840522145 .yiv9840522145MsoChpDefault {font-size:10.0pt;} _filtered #yiv9840522145 {margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;} #yiv9840522145 div.yiv9840522145WordSection1 {} #yiv9840522145 I?m curious about Glen?s comment on shimming the pressure plate.?

In other words the shim required is usually pretty thin, it's almost a matter of fine-tuning a given combination, not to correct another problem...

The result was a limited set of porous castings that wept oil and coolant when at working temperature, and the problem couldn't be solved by substituting parts, because they all had the same fault. This is a problem with any small run of parts that don't receive adequate attention from the foundry.? I recall one model of Ferrari twelve-cylinder heads that did the same thing.? The cheap fix today is to inject the casting with a loose epoxy slurry under pressure and refinish all the surfaces.? The expensive one is to reproduce the castings using better methods.

He was an amazing driver, businessman, and human being. I followed him around the various California tracks in the 60's in my old, beat up '58 +4 Morgan, and proudly carry his number 45 on the +4 I now race in SOVREN in the Northwest. He was a Gentleman, and a gentle man. I am so sad, and so sorry. My sincerest condolences to his family, the many great friends of whom Kas I know was the greatest, and to all of those he inspired. He was a role model, and example of the highest standard, and a Hero.

I ended up fabricating a breather tank so and some custom take-offs to solve our issues. It allowed me to breath the engine the way we wanted and put the tank where we wanted it. It has taken a lot of pressure off of the engine seals. If you do not have a crank breather, then it sounds like the oil has be coming from your valve cover to your catch tank. Is that a correct assumption? If so, I have 2 questions: 1. Did the oil level raise much higher than normal under the valve cover? Is it possible that something has restricted the oil?s ability to flow from the head back into to crankcase? 2. Is your catch tank located lower than the breather take-off? If it is, then excess oil under the valve cover would have followed the path of lease resistance to your catch tank. I only ask, because it sounds like for that much liquid to have ended up in the catch tank, the oil level had to have gotten high under the valve cover. We have friends that run a team that supports about 8 cars. They honestly admitted to oil level problems being cause by about six people ?checking and topping off the oil? before every session. Pretty funny, that a pro team could have that kind of fun. I do not think that is your issue. My curiosity would be think through the flow of the oil, and why did it end up in the can. If your only breather is at the valve cover, then there had to have been a lot of oil under there. Why did it not follow the returns and flow back into the sump?

There was no oil leaking out around the valve cover gasket itself, though it was blowing out these breather holes and the pinhole in the top of the valve cover cap. Return of oil to the crank - oil flows back from the head through all of the pushrod galleys. I cannot see how they could possibly be obstructed. You do bring up an interesting point - is there possibly substantially more flow to the rocker arm assembly all of a sudden? The only way this could happen is if there were significant wear on the assembly that now allows a huge oil flow. This was not a problem that was building all weekend. I have the bonnet open after every race, have a meticulous engine compartment with a dry engine and clean surfaces - this was a sudden change from the last race saturday to after the only race sunday.

I am looking for a recommendation for a good differential rebuilder, as I broke a tooth off the pinion gear on my GT6 at Summit Point last weekend on the first practice session.? I didn't know what happened at the time, but the tooth cracked the case on it's way out!? I have another diff that will be coming out of a Spitfire, but I want to install a Quaife limited slip unit in it.? Does anyone know of a good builder whom can do this and rebuild the unit entirely and PROPERLY?? I know of Quantum Mechanics in CT, but have not had good results with that outfit of late.? I am on the East Coast and would prefer to use someone here if possible, but I am open to shipping the diffs wherever if necessary.? Any help is appreciated!? Thanks!? Hope everyone is having a nice Memorial Day.-- Jay De Pol -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Engine main bearings are prone to failure.Check crank end float.Compression check.Check gearbox for smooth shifts up and down and no excessive whine low & reverse.If the oil leak is directly @ L/H rear, coming from the head gasket, it's likely weeping from the oil feed hole to the top.The rest is pretty much basic car, and any old Spitfire is likely gonna be a project, so in that sense it sounds perfect.Re value, it would have to be a good solid running Spit for that $$, but that's totally subjective.I've long told folks who are getting into Brit sports cars, to try a Spit of Sprite/Midget first, to get a taste of it, and if one can deal with maintenance etc on one of them it's time to step up into a real sports car, a B or big TR, etc.(not to piss off any Spitfire owners...)

There used to a group here in Utah, Intermountain Vintage Racing.? It was a rather hodge podge of a few random folks, did some hill climbs and ran "road" races out at the old Wendover airport.? The "track" was basically a mile long autocross, cone lined run around the worst of the broken concrete and potholes of the old airfield.? The fellow who ran it back then got tired of the amount of energy, time and money it was costing him to keep it alive, and kind of burned out on racing and sports cars altogether.? At least there's a real race track in the area now, but as far as I know no one else has stepped up to revive or replace IVR in Utah.? Too bad. mjb.

Message-ID: <001d01d516ea$2cc1e2c0$8645a840$@rr.com> One of the highlights of the vintage racing scene in the Northeast in June is the VARAC event at Mosport (now officially called Canadian Tire Motorsport Park)in Bowmanville, Ontario. Those that have never been there should experience it at least once. Currently there is a $100 discount until June 1st. Realize also with the exchange rate, this is a very reasonably priced event. Crossing into Canada is easy and camping is free with plenty of paddock space. It?s an experience to not be missed. Our hosts provide entertainment and a roaming dinner on Friday night, usually consisting of a number of types of wings; subs; beverages and deserts. and also there is a banquet on Saturday night. A number of Triumph folks are regulars at this event. I will be doing tech again this year and can answer any questions. To coin an old clich?, ?Try it you?ll like it!? The Triumph and MGs will be in the paddock area at the exit from the false grid. Can I get a head count? Once again there is a Triumph/MG Challenge with the awarding of the Group 44 Inc Trophy.

They are NOT however a direct interchange. When I was installing the tr6 box into the gt6 motor there was a bolt or pin hole missing on the factory plate. I ended up using the tr6 alloy plate on the gt6 motor with the tr6 box. The aftermarket alloy plates for tr6 and gt6 are the same. At least all that I have seen.? Regarding the Spitfire: the starter is on the left side vs the tr6 & gt6 are on the right. Therefore the six cylinder engine plate will not work on the four cylinder motor. Between the early and late four cylinder engine plates they will all bolt on however I believe the later plates have an extra bolt hole or two vs the early 4 cylinder.? This is all from memory.

The only difference between the gearboxes is two extra flange bolts on the Tr6 bellhousing, for which holes can easily be drilled on the plate. the rear of the engine block is identical and the plate bolts right up as the blocks are essentially the same (a bit more block stiffening in sides of the later TR6 blocks, I think). Starter lines right up on the same flywheel. Can?t speak for Spitfire.

It was a very healthy turnout of Triumphs. What a great group! Ken did an excellent job of taking good care of us in a well organized fashion. Joe Siam Too. Buttonwillow is a very fun track. I was a little slow at getting up to speed, but I improved my lap times by over 9 seconds from my last practice session on Friday to the all British race on Sunday. If only the KCup was run on Sunday. I ran 2:22s during the Kastner Cup race and 2:17s during the British race on Sunday, finishing 9th of 27. I had a little problem with my TR3 for the first time in it's 17 events. It would not rev over 5,500 rpm beginning on Friday, although once I figured out a good flow of the track, I was really having a blast. On Friday, I had my first spin and thanks to Walt Hollowell's efforts, I was lucky not to collect anyone or hit the only wall at Buttonwillow. Walt was a couple feet from hitting me in the driver door and I floored the throttle to keep the car rotating out of his way. The 360 spin ended a couple feet from a tire barrier still on pavement. Congratulations to Brian Howlett. His Kastner Cup win was well deserved. He was really flying in his TR4. Unfortunately, he didn't fair as well in his Morgan during the Sunday British race.

This was the first time I was able to attend and it was better than I hoped. Great cars, drivers and racing. Racing photography has been my thing for 40 or so years now, so here is my contribution to the effort. The link below should take you to a Google Album of photos.

I did a lot of driving, got to see Death Valley for the first time, I drove through some pretty desolate country during the course of the trip.? Enterprise gave me a nice discount since they messed up on the Sirius XM radio request. I was bummed I forgot the chairs I meant to bring, with my hip the way it is I can't stand or walk too long, need to rest often. Also bummed I didn't tape up that poster I brought.? It was from the 2002 Mid Ohio Triumph event, a reminder of the location of next year's Cup event.? I set it on a table when I got there, got sidetracked and it disappeared.? Oh well, hope whoever took it left behind a donation to the cause. Got to see some great people, some great cars.? Kind of surprised how few pictures there are on my phone of the event.? DId get a short video of the beginning of the first lap of the race, with John Mueller in the TR8 leading the way.? Brian Howlett's 4A is way faster than a 4 banger should be, like Barker's Herald. The weekend got me inspired, I HAVE to get a running Triumph in my life this summer.? A bigger goal. of course, would be getting the Killer Spit back on track and entered in an upcoming Kastner Cup event. We shall see. mjb.

While my racing weekend was cut short by a number of self inflicted ills, the company and surrounding events were fantastic starting at Jerry and Jan Barker's home on Wednesday. Mordy Dunst is an amazing chef and host among all of his other skills. He managed to win the Union Jack Challenge race on Sunday going away as well. Many have supported my quest to get the former Doug Brown Spitfire back on the track after it's 43 year nap. I thank all of you for that. Kas among all his other duties and commitments took the time to teach me spark plugs, carb float levels and mixture settings. I saw my first fouled plug on Friday! We learned lots and will learn more as we now have a bit of breathing space to the next event. Thanks again Amici! What a great event...Mid Ohio 2020 anyone??

May fly into Indianapolis to visit an old friend, drive to the track from there.? Think it will be the first time I make 2 in a row, if it happens.

Also high on the list of true racers there was Joe Huffaker. If there is a nicer guy on the planet, I don't know who he could possibly be. I raced with him for years in SCCA, and he has always been not only the consummate racer, but all round good guy.

Good for you.? With out question, MID-OHIO is worth the long tow (perfect for our cars). Early on in Beady Eye Vintage Triumph racing, Don Brick, Bob Wismer, and I had a list of tracks that we wanted to race just to say we've done that one.? Early on Watkins Glen was a biggie on that list, but it was a sixteen hour tow from our location in the Midwest.? Well, we did it, and we liked it so much that we did it sixteen years in a row. When we could, we'd tow in tandem, and maintain contact with CB radios.? Listening to audio books was always my crutch for long tows. ? Absolutely put MID-OHIO on your list.? Start making plans.

It was an absolute pleasure meeting so many tr racers, and how great it was to talk with Mr. Kastner to remember my first dealings with him and Carl Swanson when I first started racing our 6. I was especially relieved that he didn't chastise me for so blatantly copying his paint scheme. Hopefully he knows its because of the spell it put on me when I first saw Carl driving it at Phoenix international in early 70's! It was also great to see all the Mueller pictures and meeting John and his mom. Lee was also a big influence in my early SCCA days and lent a hand several times at Riverside, Holtville and anywhere else where he saw we could use some friendly advice. He was a true racer's racer. Also high on the list of? true racers there was Joe Huffaker. If there is a nicer guy on the planet, I don't know who he could possibly be.

But > that didn?t make any difference in my case. > Unfortunately, pumps are almost always rated by their flow rate through an open orifice, and one has to figure in the pumping losses through the engine.? So, if an engine produces x amount of heat per minute, then the actual flow rate, given the specific heat of water, has to be able to remove x amount of heat per minute.? A cast-iron engine with lots of rusty-crusties in the passages is certainly going to have a flow rate a fair amount lower than an open orifice (not that those rusty-crusties aren't important--heat transfer off of rusty cast iron is higher than with any other metal because of the surface area). The other big problem with pumps is that one needs to know their flow at specific head pressures, because without the pump being able to build pressure and still move fluid, hot-running engines will inevitably succumb to nucleate boiling and overheat. In theory, one could have an electric pump that's more efficient than a mechanical one, in the same way that electric fans, with the maximum efficiency blade pitch matched to the motor rpm, are more efficient than engine-driven fans.? However, I suspect that the makers of the kits out there are assembling them from the parts available, not engineering them to requirements.

Of course, the one thing I didn?t have time to do before loading was to get the car running. Since I was planning on passing through Dayton, I called a long time Sunbeam club friend and asked for help. (How tough is it to get a tractor engine to run?!) Doug Jennings, who owned Tiger Auto in Dayton for decades before retiring a few years ago was the perfect choice. I arrived at Doug?s around 8:30, had a quick bite of his wife?s (wonderful!) Lasagna, and winched the car into his garage to get the tr3 started. 3 hours later, nothing. Bupkis. Nada. We could not get the car to even cough using starting fluid! New plugs the next morning didn?t matter. The car would. not. start. I left Dayton for home sometime after noon the next day, an unhappy camper. Disappointing as it was, there still is no sense in dragging a dead race car to California and back. So, I went home. There is spark, fuel and (barely)compression. When I got home I took it to another Brit car friend who owns a shop and offered to give it a look. We measured an average 105 lbs for comp (it should have done SOMETHING!) and timing was judged to be correct. What we did not do was a leak down test. I don?t know why we didn?t think of that before removing the head... Where the heck is mine when I need it?! Head removal revealed some scoring of the walls, ugly corrosion in the chambers, but nothing blatant. When I crashed last year, apparently the top rad hose popped off the spout and water was introduced into the intake. Who knew!? I hit the wall backwards after rounding turn 10, and the little birdies were flying around the little stars before I shut down the motor and gingerly extricated myself from the car. I didn?t know for 6 more weeks that I had a handful of broken vertebrae (thank you, HANS device..!), now fully repaired with the neurosurgeons approval to race, by the way. I discovered the water evidence when I had to remove the manifolds to weld up the ripped exhaust collector. Inside the ports were rust remains that definitely should not have been there- and the starter didn?t spin the motor until I pulled plugs, squirted WD-40 into the cyls and bumped the started button until it loosened up and spun freely. Next season, when the water is drained for winter, it will get the cylinders lubricated! That is, when I finally get the darn thing to run... My big adventure was a bust. Bummed I missed it (a good one, from all the great comments!), bummed I didn?t get to see west coast friends, but still determined to be at Mid-Ohio next year! Since I?ve had the head and manifolds off a number of times, it?s time for a new gaskets (both head and manifold). The solid copper gasket worked great, but took me at least three tries to get it to seal after the prev head gasket failed at the ?17 Lime Rock Historics. I ended up using silicone ll. It worked, but it?s messy and unorthodox. So, does anyone have a suggestion for replacement gaskets? I?m not trying to be a frontrunner, I just crave reliability at this point- a weekend where I can drive off the trailer, race, and drive back on the trailer with nothing broken or suspect. Just once! Down, but not out. Yours truly, Rick McCurdy Newburgh, NY I know... I know, I waited a long time to work on the car, but I was working on restoring a friends big Healey, and that had priority.

Fire ring is round, so you may need to go larger than cylinder diameter to minimize protrusion in the eyebrow of the intake pocket in the head. The have up to 91 mm diameter if you call them (website just shows 88 mm). Two thicknesses are available too. I run the 91 mm diameter one. For intake gasket, Remflex is the way to go if you have sealing issues. They have a pre cut option, or you can buy partial sheets and make your own. I make my own because the intake port holes are too large and my intake manifold has narrow sealing surfaces.

I am now down to 25 3 x 5 decals. $10 = 4 decals delivered. $2.50 each after the first four. I ran 100 special edition 17 x 11 collectible posters with artwork by Steve Belfer. They are gone, but I am going to do a short run. $15 protected in a new mailing tube and delivered. This Kastner Cup, produced by Chair Ken Knight, was an exceptional event that will be remembered for a very long time. ????????????????????- In addition to the Kastner Cup Event, there was a historical reunion of Kas Kastner, Peter Brock, and the TR250K. Converging from Washington, Nevada, and California, this unlikely to happen again. A celebration of a great automotive legacy with two automotive icons. The Kastner Cup and the FOT are on a roll. See you at Mid-Ohio in 2020. It?s where it all began.

Of course, the one thing I didn?t have time to do before loading was to get the car running. Since I was planning on passing through Dayton, I called a long time Sunbeam club friend and asked for help. (How tough is it to get a tractor engine to run?!) Doug Jennings, who owned Tiger Auto in Dayton for decades before retiring a few years ago was the perfect choice. > > I arrived at Doug?s around 8:30, had a quick bite of his wife?s (wonderful!)

When I got home I took it to another Brit car friend who owns a shop and offered to give it a look. We measured an average 105 lbs for comp (it should have done SOMETHING!) and timing was judged to be correct. What we did not do was a leak down test. I don?t know why we didn?t think of that before removing the head... Where the heck is mine when I need it?! > > Head removal revealed some scoring of the walls, ugly corrosion in the chambers, but nothing blatant. When I crashed last year, apparently the top rad hose popped off the spout and water was introduced into the intake. Who knew!? I hit the wall backwards after rounding turn 10, and the little birdies were flying around the little stars before I shut down the motor and gingerly extricated myself from the car. I didn?t know for 6 more weeks that I had a handful of broken vertebrae (thank you, HANS device..!), now fully repaired with the neurosurgeons approval to race, by the way. I discovered the water evidence when I had to remove the manifolds to weld up the ripped exhaust collector. Inside the ports were rust remains that definitely should not have been there- and the starter didn?t spin the motor until I pulled plugs, squirted WD-40 into the cyls and bumped the started button until it loosened up and spun freely. > Next season, when the water is drained for winter, it will get the cylinders lubricated!

It worked, but it?s messy and unorthodox. > > So, does anyone have a suggestion for replacement gaskets?

The Production race was notable because my little 1147 GP Spit was out there with a GT1 car driven by a well known former TR6 driver. I drew him aside at the driver's meeting and said "Paul, I'll do my best to stay out of your way, but with the closing speed you'll have on me, I might get surprised." He said "Just drive your race kid, I'll worry about staying out of your way", flashed that famous smile and wandered back to his trailer. We both won our class, Though I think I was about 4 laps down on him. iii On Mon, May 20, 2019 at 8:39 PM fubog1 via Fot wrote: > Well now that the rumors have started, I expect that the owner/driver will > jump in here at some point with his side of the story... > Glen > ps- yeah it was like bringing a knife to a gunfight with those treaded > tires ha ha! > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Terry Stetler > To: fubog1 ; fot at Autox.Team.Net > Sent: Mon, May 20, 2019 5:36 pm > Subject: RE: [Fot] Rumortime, an E-prod TR-3 on treaded tires??? > > Can?t wait for the after action report. > > Terry > > Sent from Mail for > Windows 10 > > ------------------------------ > *From:* fubog1 > *Sent:* Monday, May 20, 2019 12:29:59 PM > *To:* TLizzard at msn.com; fot at Autox.Team.Net > *Subject:* Re: [Fot] Rumortime, an E-prod TR-3 on treaded tires??? > > As a matter of fact it was, and now that I'm thinking about it, I > recognize the car from somewhere... > Glen > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Terry Stetler > To: fubog1 ; fot at Autox.Team.Net > Sent: Mon, May 20, 2019 12:23 pm > Subject: RE: [Fot] Rumortime, an E-prod TR-3 on treaded tires??? > > Might that TR3 have been red on color? > > Terry Stetler > > Sent from Mail > > for Windows 10 > > ------------------------------ > *From:* Fot on behalf of fubog1 via Fot < > fot at autox.team.net> > *Sent:* Monday, May 20, 2019 8:13:46 AM > *To:* fot at Autox.Team.Net > *Subject:* [Fot] Rumortime, an E-prod TR-3 on treaded tires??? > > I don't have any details, (I know nuthink!), but scuttlebutt is that a > certain Vintage driver (name withheld to avoid possible embarrassment) > showed up with a Vintage TR-3 racecar with Vintage treaded tires on it, > down at PBIR this past weekend... but... the problem was that it was a SCCA > SAARC Regional race, no Vintage class. > Not to be deterred by that minor detail, a couple pieces of white paper > and a home printer produced a very nice "EP"... and it was "off to the > races" for our intrepid Vintage race... > > Glen > _______________________________________________ > fot at autox.team.net > > http://www.fot-racing.com > > Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html > Archive: http://autox.team.net/archive http://www.team.net/pipermail/fot > Unsubscribe/Manage : > http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/fot/bownes at web9.com > > > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Cold numbers don't really count. The numbers that you give look pretty good from a leakdown perspective. As a point of reference, with >10% leakdown into the sump in a couple of cylinders, you will see oil drip out of the strangest places (like around the nuts holding the valve cover down and the filler cap to which you refer.) So, either your gauge is lying or you need to verify your numbers with the engine at operating temps (and see if the numbers change). If you have access to another gauge, that might help figure out if anything is wrong. Oh, and is there any oil fouling on the plugs? Blow by should also introduce some oil into the cylinders when you lift off... I think Marcel's suggestion has merit. Let us know if you find anything.

"The leak down gauge is simply a 100 psi gauge that reads backwards from a tire pressure gauge. Basically if you have 100 psi going to your cylinder and it doesn?t leak down at all then it will show you 0 leak down and/or 100 psi if it was a normal pressure gauge. If your regulator is set higher then 100 then the leakdown gauge will go below zero because its showing a higher pressure." So, one of my gauges is no longer reading correctly, as I?m getting a higher pressure on the cylinder than on the supply, on some cylinders. Have to swap them out to figure out which, and then I?ll be able to determine how much leakdown there really is. More to follow this weekend!

I just had a great weekend at Summit Point, perfect weather, four days and lots of track time, some quick laps and good racing. After my last session, I noticed some dripping oil as I put the car in the trailer. Got it home to find a half full catch can (1 pint?), and evidence of oil blowing out of the valve cover cap vent hole. Tonight I ran a compression test and leakdown test. Cold engine results: 1 - 200 and 2% 2- 180 and 6% 3 - 180 and 9% 4 - 195 and 0% 5 - 190 and 0% 6 - 185 and 0% Note - I suspect my longacre leakdown gauge may not be reading quite right, as when i have the air side set to 100, the leakdown % on the last three is slightly below zero. So, perhaps the leakdown on the first three is higher. There was no excess oil until the last session. Oil pressure is about 50 hot at idle and 65 - 75 at speed, depending on RPM. EGT readings remained in the 1200 - 1250 range across three monitored cylinders at top speed What do i have - failing rings? Any diagnosis or tests you recommend before I start pulling the thing apart would be appreciated. Triumphs racing - I?m sure I?m missing a few but this is who I remember.

It seems that getting the tires on the painted concrete while under full throttle is not conducive to forward movement. I was lucky to get away with this one unscathed. As I start to spin I look to my left to see Walt coming toward my door with his TR6, so I hit the throttle to get out of his way completing a 360. Also, the only concrete wall at the track was close by too. I gave a no harm done woohoo when I came to a stop. I catch another slide while passing a Mini around the 7 minute mark.

My thanks to all those who put me forward and supported me. It may be that my current car, SofS, is more historic than I am - I built my previous two race Vitesses, Old Blue from a standard Vitesse, and Silverback from a Herald 13/60 Estate. SofS was first registered as a road car in 1970, and was modified for racing in about 1980, I don't know who by, but it was raced by Mike "Barney Rubble" Barnes in the UK TSSC series. It then was owned by Mark Plausin and worked on by John Sadler of "Trioomph", who had his own Vitesse and raced together as a team. I raced my first, Old Blue Vitesse against them, and I enclose pictures of my car now and then from the 90s, when John was driving it. Old Blue went to the Great Garage in the Sky in an accident, and I elected to build Silverback as an experiment in aerodynamics. Inspired by the Volvo estates then racing in the British Touring Car Championship, I went further and built it rear-radiatored, with a front spoiler from Old Blue and side skirts, to minimise undercar airflow. I can't claim any down force, but I think we had less lift! Wiped out on the N?rburgring by a Group 2 Porsche, two weeks later I found SofS on sale from the back of Mark Plausin's barn. It was meant to be mine! But twelve years of storage, some ill-advised suspension and engine building had taken their toll, and I transplanted the engine, front and rear suspension from Silverback into it, and named it Son of Silverback, SofS, as it had so many of it's father's parts. Mark had a GRP coupe roof on it, as had Old Blue because of the Regs of one series we ran in, and after the glasshouse of the estate I found that cramped and pokey. So I fitted the roof from Old Blue and SofS has its grandfather's hat on as well! Since then, we've competed in the Classic Sports Car Club Swinging 60s (!) series, been to Le Mans (to visit the Classic) and Spa (to race). Currently working on a new 2.5L engine to complement the Lucas Pi that is fitted. Some pics enclosed, of SofS today, and long ago next to Old Blue. And for completeness, of Silverback in it's pomp. Best wishes, and looking forward to news of US Triumph racing! JOhn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Yes, it was me (English teacher wife says it should be Yes, it was I) with my vintage TR3 in the SCCA race last weekend at Palm Beach International Raceway. Here is a link to us on the grid for the race https://www.dropbox.com/s/kixjcx4ubusmbtf/on%20the%20grid.jpg?dl=0 And yes, it was on Hoosier Vintage tires. I'm a 31 year member of SCCA and I've held a National license for all those years but had NEVER been in an actual classed race with any car meeting the requirements of a class. I'd long held a desire to do so before I retired from racing but I'm too cheap to rent a modern race car. It had been a while since I'd driven my beautiful and well prepared TR3 (thanks to Glen Efinger!) and reviewing the upcoming options to do so, most interfered with family travel plans for the summer. So, since this event was essentially in my back yard.....6 miles from my driveway.....it was the perfect opportunity. For the previous month I sucked up to the Chief of Tech and the Race Chairman to let the things that prevented my car from being fully EP legal slide for this one time. That worked well and we slid thru registration and tech with not a flinch. The next opportunity for it to go bad was on the grid. But, as you can see in the pic, there I was next to a fully prepared Spitfire driven by my friend and team mate Tim Slater. Then, I hold my breath for the first couple of laps wondering if the stewards (SCCA has a ton of them at every event) would have me black flagged. They did not. Here's the bottom line - there must be something to those flares/slicks/fancy suspension/fancy brakes/after market transmissions and on and on. Tim's yellow Spit quickly became a dot ahead of me in spite of my lap times being in the range of what I can turn on this same track in a vintage race. For a while I was able to hold off the VW that was running last. But, even that didnt work for the entire 15 lap race and my 30+ year friend and I eventually finished dead f&^ing last. Oh, well. But, I have now checked off one more item from the list of things I'd like to achieve. Mike Subject: [Fot] Rumortime, an E-prod TR-3 on treaded tires???

When mounting and tightening the pressure plate, the fingers should move inward no more than 2 or 3mm. You can correct this by putting washers between the six feet of the PP and the flywheel. These washers ought to be hard steel : shims, not common mild steel washers.

The thickness of the disc directly affects the geometry that the PP has to work within by design.If the disc is too thin, there will be weak clamping force and it'll slip, and it will take a "long" pedal to release.If too thick, the release will be too high and it will probably slip under load.Generally if I use a thicker disc, I shim the difference between it and a stock disc, and check it in the press if any question.Glen -----Original Message----- From: Barr, Scott via Fot To: Phil Gott ; van.mulders.marcel at telenet.be ; fot at autox.team.net Sent: Fri, May 24, 2019 8:56 am Subject: Re: [Fot] laycock clutch question #yiv9840522145 #yiv9840522145 -- _filtered #yiv9840522145 {panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv9840522145 {font-family:Calibri;panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv9840522145 {panose-1:2 11 5 2 2 2 2 2 2 4;} _filtered #yiv9840522145 {font-family:Verdana;panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4;} #yiv9840522145 #yiv9840522145 p.yiv9840522145MsoNormal, #yiv9840522145 li.yiv9840522145MsoNormal, #yiv9840522145 div.yiv9840522145MsoNormal {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:New serif;} #yiv9840522145 a:link, #yiv9840522145 span.yiv9840522145MsoHyperlink {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;} #yiv9840522145 a:visited, #yiv9840522145 span.yiv9840522145MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple;text-decoration:underline;} #yiv9840522145 p.yiv9840522145msonormal0, #yiv9840522145 li.yiv9840522145msonormal0, #yiv9840522145 div.yiv9840522145msonormal0 {margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12.0pt;font-family:New serif;} #yiv9840522145 span.yiv9840522145EmailStyle18 {font-family:sans-serif;color:#1F497D;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;} #yiv9840522145 .yiv9840522145MsoChpDefault {font-size:10.0pt;} _filtered #yiv9840522145 {margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;} #yiv9840522145 div.yiv9840522145WordSection1 {} #yiv9840522145 I?m curious about Glen?s comment on shimming the pressure plate.?

In other words the shim required is usually pretty thin, it's almost a matter of fine-tuning a given combination, not to correct another problem...

The result was a limited set of porous castings that wept oil and coolant when at working temperature, and the problem couldn't be solved by substituting parts, because they all had the same fault. This is a problem with any small run of parts that don't receive adequate attention from the foundry.? I recall one model of Ferrari twelve-cylinder heads that did the same thing.? The cheap fix today is to inject the casting with a loose epoxy slurry under pressure and refinish all the surfaces.? The expensive one is to reproduce the castings using better methods.

There was no oil leaking out around the valve cover gasket itself, though it was blowing out these breather holes and the pinhole in the top of the valve cover cap. Return of oil to the crank - oil flows back from the head through all of the pushrod galleys. I cannot see how they could possibly be obstructed. You do bring up an interesting point - is there possibly substantially more flow to the rocker arm assembly all of a sudden? The only way this could happen is if there were significant wear on the assembly that now allows a huge oil flow. This was not a problem that was building all weekend. I have the bonnet open after every race, have a meticulous engine compartment with a dry engine and clean surfaces - this was a sudden change from the last race saturday to after the only race sunday.

I am looking for a recommendation for a good differential rebuilder, as I broke a tooth off the pinion gear on my GT6 at Summit Point last weekend on the first practice session.? I didn't know what happened at the time, but the tooth cracked the case on it's way out!? I have another diff that will be coming out of a Spitfire, but I want to install a Quaife limited slip unit in it.? Does anyone know of a good builder whom can do this and rebuild the unit entirely and PROPERLY?? I know of Quantum Mechanics in CT, but have not had good results with that outfit of late.? I am on the East Coast and would prefer to use someone here if possible, but I am open to shipping the diffs wherever if necessary.? Any help is appreciated!? Thanks!?

Engine main bearings are prone to failure.Check crank end float.Compression check.Check gearbox for smooth shifts up and down and no excessive whine low & reverse.If the oil leak is directly @ L/H rear, coming from the head gasket, it's likely weeping from the oil feed hole to the top.The rest is pretty much basic car, and any old Spitfire is likely gonna be a project, so in that sense it sounds perfect.Re value, it would have to be a good solid running Spit for that $$, but that's totally subjective.I've long told folks who are getting into Brit sports cars, to try a Spit of Sprite/Midget first, to get a taste of it, and if one can deal with maintenance etc on one of them it's time to step up into a real sports car, a B or big TR, etc.(not to piss off any Spitfire owners...)

There used to a group here in Utah, Intermountain Vintage Racing.? It was a rather hodge podge of a few random folks, did some hill climbs and ran "road" races out at the old Wendover airport.? The "track" was basically a mile long autocross, cone lined run around the worst of the broken concrete and potholes of the old airfield.? The fellow who ran it back then got tired of the amount of energy, time and money it was costing him to keep it alive, and kind of burned out on racing and sports cars altogether.? At least there's a real race track in the area now, but as far as I know no one else has stepped up to revive or replace IVR in Utah.? Too bad. mjb.

Those that have never been there should experience it at least once. Currently there is a $100 discount until June 1st. Realize also with the exchange rate, this is a very reasonably priced event. Crossing into Canada is easy and camping is free with plenty of paddock space. It?s an experience to not be missed. Our hosts provide entertainment and a roaming dinner on Friday night, usually consisting of a number of types of wings; subs; beverages and deserts. and also there is a banquet on Saturday night. A number of Triumph folks are regulars at this event. I will be doing tech again this year and can answer any questions. To coin an old clich?, ?Try it you?ll like it!? The Triumph and MGs will be in the paddock area at the exit from the false grid. Can I get a head count? Once again there is a Triumph/MG Challenge with the awarding of the Group 44 Inc Trophy.

I couldn?t wait any longer. As Mark said, he helped me with my first spitfire about ten years ago, he gave me a little tour of killer spit and reminisced about the glory days of autocross, he also sold me a very nice boot lid for my 73. I just purchased Joe Siam?s black spitfire that had been used as a rental racecar for many years. If any of you have any experience with that specific car, 93 fp, I would love to collect your stories! I look forward to getting to know you all and hope to see some of you at the track!

The only difference between the gearboxes is two extra flange bolts on the Tr6 bellhousing, for which holes can easily be drilled on the plate. the rear of the engine block is identical and the plate bolts right up as the blocks are essentially the same (a bit more block stiffening in sides of the later TR6 blocks, I think). Starter lines right up on the same flywheel. Can?t speak for Spitfire.
