GT6 Cam Timing

Bill--

Thanks so much for setting me straight on this. The BPNW and the Piper BP270 cams are indeed quite different. It's what I get for...

[ed_h]

Thanks, Guys.




Jim--I think it was there originally, but I removed it during some work back in the 80s. I guess it was...

[ed_h]

Same as for TR6, but I used an asymmetric cam.

I remember that was true on my 74, but is that the way all TR6s were?

The seal housing on my 69 GT6 looks just about identical, but has a...

[ed_h]

Diameter of crank at rear seal is 2.875". If yours really is small, or if there is a wear groove, you could try a Speedi-sleeve on it.

It's probably an EMI noise suppression device. If you hear a whine in your radio without it, you need it.

Jeremy--
Love the combination of the square body with the scroll. I made a mountain dulcimer years ago. Still have it.

My TR6 headrest...

[ed_h]

Well sorry to disappoint, Ken, but it was a really good paint stick!

Ed...

[ed_h]

No, the mods are the nuts welded to the plate.

Ed...

[ed_h]

Some simple mods to the front engine plate. It's the same in the TR6.

Same as TR6, I think.

[ed_h]

This is almost identical to the one in the TR6, but only has one bolt hole on the front surface, where the TR (at least in '74) had three.

Hey, Baws.

I got a bench-top cabinet from HF, and it works passably well after a few mods, but if I were doing it again, I think I'd get...

[ed_h]

Thanks, Jim. I appreciate the comment.

Yeah, Bill, It's been a strange year in so many ways.

Ed

[ed_h]

We here on the Prairie have no right to expect to be priming a car outside in November, but here we are.

Thanks, Guys. I appreciate the comments.

Uber--After the big ends were all brought to the same weight, the rod/pin/piston assemblies were...

[ed_h]

Yes, with just about any sealing method, oil contamination in and around the joint is the main problem to solve.

Ed

[ed_h]

All of this is directly applicable to the TR6, which is almost identical.

One of mine leaked. I fixed it with solder, but to get the joint clean enough to take the solder reliably, you may need to knock out the bottom disk.....
