you are spot on,,DH are dolomite engine code

not sure if there a slight tapering of the pin,,does one end of pin look bigger then the other side,but yeah replace pin for split pin

think it comes down to over-tightening! hand tight does the job not brute force.......i use pin hammer to flattened my sump holes

it would certainly put me right off getting one,if i was a new comer.......in other words get one with good body everything is re-placeable thru parts dealers

The only problem I have is getting more members to display those useful Club Triumph sun visor stickers, especially useful recently when the sun is in your eyes below the visor. They are available from the Club Shop - come on now, you know you want one!

bloody hell,its brown 😀

il second what he said above,,,solder it

i got mix and match of polybushes,cheap set of ebay to get the car up and running,but slowly going thru and replacing with witor stuff(superflex) as and when i need to change....complete set of witor for dolly are expensive in one joblot,,but depends on pocket size

have you re-tightened the head since running in

what does help the bottom ends is pre-oil pressure the engine before its run,,just take coil +feed off and turn over til light go`s out or pressure built by gauge

put new ones in   SAFETY FIRST

ive used the horseshoe type for many year,never failed,used with extra bar,but this was bought in the mid 90`s so good quality from sealey.just go`s to show the quality of certain tools and parts have gone down-hill since chineses and other copy`s have flooded the market

if its any help,ive had mine bosch battery on my dolly for 3yrs now,still strong as ever

think north is locked and south is unlocked,i could be wrong

you have to remove the manifold,think the manual refers to a later engine,you`ve got early type
