I used to have a 1975 TR6 about 10 years ago I would have my major work done by a guy named Jack who had a shop in concord but I no longer see his shop listed. He may have retired. You could reach out to the Triumph Club of the Carolinas, I'm sure they could lead you in the direction of a...

Thank you, that is exactly what i was looking for. I found this by the end rocker it looks like item # 13901B from the diagram.

I got the head pulled yesterday thanks to the help of my favorite mechanic. It is easy to see where the head gasket failed between cylinders 2 and 3. I will check the flatness of the block and evaluate the cylinder walls later in the week. I am still trying to determine why cylinder 6 had such...

Took off the bib then I pulled out the radiator, fan shroud and radiator housing along with the battery box. I plan to paint the shroud and housing before I put it back on the truck and get a new battery tray. My tray is for a dual battery set up but I only run one. Getting a little bit closer...

I'm in Gastonia. I love Porsches, nothing sounds like a flat 6 and no modern car is as fun to drive as a Porsche. The biggest reason I purchased a cayman over a 911 is the ease of maintenance. To do anything on a 911 you have to pretty much remove the exhaust and drop the motor. I try to do...

You can't go wrong with the 987 platform, probably the best sports car you can buy for the money and they just keeping looking better with time. I have a 2008 Cayman S. I agree the handling is sublime.

After two years of ownership it is time to dig in and give Olga a refresh. A couple weeks ago she started to run poorly and missing at idle. After checking all the basics timing, fuel and spark to no avail I did a compression check and found two of the cylinders are dead. My plan is to take the...

I'd put a little loving on that and get it ready for some spring and summer adventures

Barn find?

I have a one piece header and the column shift. I do not have any clearance issues.

That is good to know, I will have to add this to my to do list. Looking at my valve cover someone took an old one and added the filler cap to the back of it. Why they put the cap on the back and not the front beats me.

the 1F engines fill their oil from the side of the block that goes directly into the oil pan. They do not have a cap on the valve cover you take off to add oil through the top. There might be a transition year kind of thing where Toyota made a 1F valve cover with a cap on it but I am not aware...

Started replacing the oil pan gasket

Saw this nice 62 at the White Water Center.
