Thankyou gentlemen for your comments and advice , yes Roger I am using the special nuts and washers. Cheers Chris

I am just about to refit my cylinder head with new standard head studs ,nuts and washers . Should I use any lubrication on the threaded ends ? Cheers Chris.

Hi Roger I usually use them but they are currently showing out of stock , I will keep looking . Cheers Chris

I have been trying to source Penrite GB40 for sometime but does seem to be currently available unless someone can advise otherwise. Cheers Chris.

Gentlemen I am a little confused maybe due to age on the subject of the variety of tyre sizes available. I am currently running 185x70 r15 Vredestein classic sprint tyres on my tr4. next year I am due to change them because of their age. I am looking at the various size options but want to maintain the current rolling radius as this is giving me an accurate speedo reading . Is there a mathematical formula to apply to the various tyre sizes to establish their rolling radius Cheers Chris

Hi Steven When I had my garage extension some years ago the builder installed a Mech-Mate pit , it consisted of a moulded liner with lighting power sockets steps seat and tray to hold tools. It is easy to clean and dry ,would fully recommend one. I think the company still exists so check their website. Cheers Chris.

I am about to remove the cylinder head from my TR 4. Do I remove the head nuts in the reverse order to fitting them or does it not matter ? Cheers Chris

Hi Steve Have sent a PM Cheers Chris

Try A Plan the TR Register brokers have all my cars insured with them and my house insurance easy to deal with with a competitive price had to make a claim for storm damage to our conservatory roof no arguments paid up promptly . Cheers Chris.

Thanks for your replies it will make an interesting ornament for the mantlepiece. There is a company in Wolverhampton who comes highly recommended for water pump repairs, someone will come along soon with the name and contact details. Cheers Chris

Hi Pete I found the original invoice from Racetorations dated 2007 the vane tips are slanted. I am going to remove the cylinder head later this year so I will measure the tip clearance then. Cheers Chris

Hi Pete Attached photo hopefully the body of the pump is cast iron. Cheers Chris

Gentlemen I have just discovered a 6 vane uprated water pump for my TR4 that I purchased some years ago from I think Racetorations but never for some reason fitted. Has anyone got any experience of these, and are they worth making the change from the standard one ? Cheers Chris.

How important is it to back off the nuts before re torquing if so by how much ? Cheers Chris

Hi Graham I did the same as Mark 10+ years ago, no problems also found the suspension was a lot quieter. Cheers Chris
