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.

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????

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.

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.

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.

Dave do not allow the intake pipes to hang down behind the valance, if you ever drive into water the pipes will pick it up resulting in an big bang and an expensive engine reair. The best thing is to remove them as stated above.
