Re: Engine upgrade
The compressions are good this was the reason for doing the head. Carbs are easy. I use the stethoscope and two little flow meters swaping them round in case they are not identical. Afterwards I do a CO check. I am from the old school a piece of hose in your ear is better than a meter. I set the poi...

Re: Engine upgrade
I know the settings are correct. They were done using the Vacuum technique, compression tester, digital rev counter, little engine computor, strobe and a CO meter. I have a lot of stuff from my TR6, head, Carbs 175CD Strombergs etc I wonder if it would be worth trying to fit them onto the 2000 engine.

Re: Engine upgrade
It is (I believe) a 1975 TC 2000 with SUs ML21224DLO In the late 60s, early 70s I had a MK1 2000 estate and that was much quicker. This one is terrible when pulling away from the lights in 1st gear. Once at the high end of the revs in 2nd gear it starts to be a bit lively.

What small improvements can be made with out a major cha...

Re: Clutch
By the way the long nose crank was up to CC 50.000
The short nose was from CC 50.001
They has matching flywheels and short and long bushes to match the flywheel.

Re: Clutch
Yes they are a matched pair. Triumph had problems with the long life of their clutches so they had to change the flywheel. Amongst other things, I need the info to stop a competent garage, giving my car as a learning tool to youngsters. They keep on looking for the Triumph USB connection to its comp...
