[TR] TR3 Front Plate

[William Brewer]

     My TR3A front plate was leaking pretty bad and I am taking the Christmas break to straighten it out. I originally blamed the bottom bolts backing out (which they had), but when I got into the engine I found that the front main bearing block was sitting about 30 thousandths proud of the front of the block. The bearing block was still torqued tight and I doubt that I let it slip by when I rebuilt the engine about 8 years ago. Could something have made the block migrate forward over the last 80,000 miles? 
     TIA,
