The crank end-float is the only inherent weakness of this engine
Hi - I recently read 'The crank end-float is the only inherent weakness of this engine – catch it early and the thrusts can be replaced in situ, but bad cases can wreck both the block and crankshaft.' is this something that I should do? I have a 1978 2000TC, about 160km, compressions down a bit but ...

Wind noise
Hi - probably discussed previously but couldn't find a post. Have a lot of wind noise. Appears to be from a gap at the top of both front doors as there are gaps (used a torch). Any ideas how to reduce the noise? Not sure new rubbers would do a lot.

SU HS6 1.75"
Hi - I have a 1978 Triumph 2000TC, have the chance to get a set of SU carburetors, stated as HS6, 1.75" off an S - would they fit the 2000TC (if so will they need the needles changed?)

Re: Compression test
Thanks for your input. I had an engine reconditioner test it. The compression were around 120, went up by 15 with oil so rings on the way out. What I don’t understand is he did a leakage test. He said it was -5 but when he took the hose off between the tapper cover and carburettors it went to 0. He ...

Compression test
I have a 1978 2000TC, had a compression test results as follows: 170, 150, 145, 145, 130, 150 - it does burn a little oil. I am not mechanically capable of pulling the head off etc, When I purchased it 5 years ago compressions were all within the 10% tolerance level, done about 15,000 km since. I do...

Re: Master light switch
Thank you so much for the offer. I have been able to source one from Chris Witor. What annoyed me was I told Rimmers that the previous one they sent me wasn't correct and explained why - I wasn't asking for a refund but told them the specific issue - they sent me a link to exactly the same switch th...

Master light switch
I have a Triumph 2000TC 1978 (NZ). In NZ the master light switch has a park light that needs to be able to be switched on for warrant of fitness (MOT). The original gave up a couple of years ago - I purchased one from Rimmers they provided one but doesn't seem to allow for park only (ABU331p) - up u...
