Well I used the leak down tester I built, and the results make it the most expensive tool I own. It confirmed what I had guessed, a very tired engine. I spoke with a local machine shop that does TR 6 engines. If I pull it, strip it down and take it to them, $1500 to $2500, depending on required parts, including the thrust bearing fix, balance and cleaning up all manifold surfaces. Seems almost to good, but they do come recommended by a local Triumph club member and mechanic. So far I have not been steered wrong.
I pulled the differential last night and took it to the shop this morning. SO that is under way.
I am pretty sure I am going to pull the engine Saturday and take it in.
Do you really have to take the frame cross member out to pull the engine tranny combo, as it says in the Bentley's?
