Aloha All,
The rebuilt engine for my TF roared to life yesterday. Only a few minor problems like oil weeping here and there, minor timing adjustment and I need to fiddle with one of the carbs but very satisfying. It last ran in 2009 just before I totally disassembled the car. Since then, crank turned, new main and rod bearings, new pistons and rings, cylinders bored, new cam and bearings, new tappets, valve springs and a couple of exhaust valves. Distributor and SUs rebuilt. Assorted nuts, bolts and studs replaced. Now on to body construction.
