Triumph TR6 - Engine put together

Finally putting together my "new" short block to replace the one in the car in which the fallen out thrust washer had basically destroyed. Wish me luck! I'm going to need it!

Good Luck. We're rooting for you. But don't worry- all will go fine.

Heck I'm scratching my head on the front plate bolt/screw sequence...uh oh...already trouble! Good thing I got one in the car to look at! : )

I'm putting a "Bronze solid" TW on this one from Scott Helms...no more chancing the block/crank on the stocker.

Attempting the ring and piston install tomorrow...any pitfalls or advice?

One of my .20 over rod bearings was scored on the bearing surface...now what? Don't know if it was like that or if it happened when sperating them....un sure how one procures ONE 020 over rod bearing.

I put mine together about 3 months ago and downloaded the free engine assembly guide from The Roadster Factory web site as it has several exploded views of the engine..I am a pictures kind of guy...
The Robert Bentley manual was opened a few hundred times as well...

How's it going JT?

I would see if the place you bought the bearing from will replace it - probably damaged during manufacture.

I don't even remember where I got them. Bought them a year ago and had lot's of trouble finding KING due to issues out of Israel where they are manufactured. Garage has gone through a transformation so I can't even locate the receipts. Probably not easy to replace since getting the whole set was hard enough.

Try giving Richard Good a call. He handles King bearings. Or he could point you in the right direction.
