Yep, I got the word back today from the machine shop. The head is cracked! They Magnfluxed it and several small cracks showed up. Not interested in getting it pinned or welded. He says the block looks ok, hasn't gotten to the crank yet. Loosing interest real fast, especially after having traced some leads on a body and frame. WAY too expensive for this time in my life. I think I will just kick back and enjoy my TR6 and stop torturing myself. So, here's the deal. To try and recoup some of my expenses on the machine shop work, I want to hock the few parts that have any value. If the crank checks out ok, that is sellable. The block professionally cleaned and Magnafluxed, but shipping will negate any value. The connecting rods are good. Cracked head becomes a boat anchor. The biggie is the A-type overdrive. I will check with John Esposito, he had made and offer a while back. Now the kicker. I just got in the brand new Mahle 87mm liners and pistons, which TRF will gladly take back. $899.95, American money. If anyone is interested, let me know now, otherwise they get freighted back to TRF. Various and sundry other things are salvageable, otherwise, to the dump....
