TriumphV8 Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Another nice job on the TR6 engine: Rods modified to accept the VW pistons with 17mm pins Nice small end bearings to extend working length of the rod and avoid milling the block to suit Small end without original bearing ready to accept the new bearing. A little bit of Loctite added to keep all in place All done, ready to race! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted October 14, 2017 Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Hi Andreas, Very nice. outvof interest: which grade af brass did you use? I notice that after pressing the bushes in the conrods, you made a kind of spiral groove (but it can be just visual), would this not affect the lubrication film (pressure profile) in the small end bearing? Just interested to learn. Best regards, Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TriumphV8 Posted October 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) Hi Waldi, material is CUSn12, much better than original and better for that purpose than RG7. Spiral in the inside is no groove , just reflection. Its gone after final reaming. Oil hole and its chamfering is missing in that picture after that a final reaming is done and after cleaning surface will be very nice. Its shiny like polished what makes every scratch under flashlight much bigger. Edited October 14, 2017 by TriumphV8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
