Just to let you know the strip down and rebuild has been completed, I must have done something right this time as the results are much better. Now to complete the rest of the engine assembly. Thanks again for your help. Bob

Thanks for the very informative reply Mick, just for further information I am fitting the 87mm piston/liners set. So it looks like a strip down and restart all over again. Just one of the joys rebuilding a TR2, at least it helps to passes lock down time???? Bob

Thanks Ian In reply to your questions :- Crank rotation with no pistons fitted was OK, with each piston fitted it gradually became tighter but this is what I would have expected, piston rings gaps are OK. The camshaft is not yet fitted I will try releasing the all of the present torque settings tomorrow and try again as suggested. Bob

Hi Possible question for Mick Richards, I am part way into an engine rebuild, reground crank, new pistons, liners bearings etc. Has any one an idea as to the acceptable torque required to turn the crank over. At present it takes approx 44 - 46 lbs ft. At this figure it just seems a bit tight when the pistons are at the top or bottom of the cylinders. Bob E

Hi John If you are looking at the ball type they work ok and hold about 1 gallon. Just put the pipe in the tank, pump it up to create a vacuum and out it comes. Bob
