yes he certainly no's what he's doing Danny, il be taking mine back there after ive got the diff sorted, he said he could get more torque from my engine with free flow air filters plus re-profiling the needles🙂

Booked my mk2 2500 saloon into Atspeed last monday they do like classic cars there and dont thrash the engine unnecessarily on road going cars,they found the facet posiflow fuel pump i fitted about a year wasnt delivering enough fuel to the carbs the ignition timeing was to advanced the front carb need a bit of work, left the car with them at 8am picked it at 3pm running the best it has since ive owned it, there based in brook road industrial estate next to reighley weir off the A127 in essex, postcode SS6 7XF phone 01268773377 email info@atspeedracing.co.uk recomended, friendly,good comunication, 

overdriverepairs.co.uk in sheffield will give you advice and sell parts accoding to there web site,

removing the engine from a saloon from the top is possible, you will obviously need an engine lifter plus some one to guide the engine out if your concerned about damaging body work.

ive seen this, im pretty sure it was when i drained my A type overdrive box straight after a long run with hot oil,

OK thanks Ted

ok thanks Richard,  ive not decided for definate that im going to change over to the pi set up, but i dont no of anyone in essex kent or any where me who can set a pi up if i do

Ted good to here your engines running well,i didnt have my 308778 cam reground, i bought my camshaft direct From Chris witor about 18 months to 2 years ago not an exchange cam ive still got the 308778 cam, the cam i bought is discribed on chris witors web site as a reprofiled cam similar to the 308778 hope its been made from a blank. what sort of noise does a cam make if its wearing out?, your friend Chris Rabbets i presume he runs a buisness tuning old cars on his rolling road? im only 30 to 45mins from stroud in kent could you pm me his phone number incase i ever need to get my engine set up thanks

Nick thanks for information about your pi engine sounds good with all that torque available, the fuel consumpsions good to, ive got the pi throttle bodies in my garage but unfortunatly im not capapable of fitting the engine management system, but i could handle bolting on the original pi set up🙂

Ok thanks for the replies guys. another question. when i bought the car it had a 2000cc inlet manifold and carbs fitted by the previuos owner 🙁 he stripped out pi system. i already had a 2500s inlet manifold and hs6 carbs plus a 2500s head which i had skimmed downt to give a 9 to 1 compression ratio plus a camshaft from chris witor similar to the 308778 but with inlet lift increased from 232 to 261 also a  witor stainless six branch and big bore exhaust system all this is fitted to the engine now. the question is what would the car run like if i just removed the carbs and fitted a triumph 132bhp or 150bhp pi system to it but left the S cylinder head and 261 inlet lift camshaft fitted?

Hi the original engine in my 1972 mk2 2500pi was siezed when the previous owner aquired the the car and he replace it with another engine the number of this engine is MG21110HE.ive removed the camshaft which has number 308778 on it but this number definitly doesnt look factory stamped more like its been done with a hand held scribeing machine, it also has a wide grove on the end, any idea what model triumph this engine and cam came from? thanks

thanks confirming that Colin

Although ive had the standard tr6 steel wheels for a few years only just noticed they have 5.5j x 15 x 6 stamped on the outside, is the no 6 the offset or et number?

Ive moved my battery on my mk2 saloon to the boot, not sure about the stags but on the saloons theres a recess of about 120mm or more next to the drivers side rear wing and enough width to fit an after market battery tray, theres a 25mm hole and grommet low down behind the clutch peddle and ive run the cable under the front seat and carpet with one hole drilled with grommet to get under the rear seat to the boot 🙂

one thing thats an advantage with the alloy rocker cover it doesnt collapse when tightening down, also i think there might be enough depth round the edge where the gasket fits to have a groove machined into it for a PTFE seal,

ok thanks Pete thats all i needed to no,

Hi all tryed yesterday to remove the rear diff inner axle bearing retainer on my mk2 saloon,using the instructions from the triumph operation manual which says after removing the outer axle shaft undo  and remove the 4 bolts that hold the bearing retainer, ease the bearing retainer and inner axle shaft assembly away from the diff casing, but the assembly would not move at all, tryed tapping it lghtly with wood and a hammer no luck, anyone got any tips or advice on removing this would be appreciated

Theres a product called Wurth Gummi in aerosol cans or with a sponge aplicator, they say it protects rubber and makes it supple, stops cracking, plus more.ive put it on my door and window seals it cleans them up well but weather it does any more  i dont no, have a look on youtube you can buy on ebay around £10 a can 🙂

thanks for the replies guys, the small tag is not there on my carbs, but i now no what the ventri size is, il email Allens performance and let them no,

Hi all i have a pair of su hs6 carbs fitted to my mk2 2500 and been asked the question what size is the venturi of these carbs i presume its 1 3/4" or 45mm am i correct? thanks

mines a mk2 2500 temperature always stays around mid way on the gauge cant rememder what thermostat is fitted but its got the original viscous fan fitted

I could be wrong Hogie but didnt some of the early Tr5s have overdrive for second gear, but yes wouldnt be using overdrive in 2nd to much anyway, also arnt the A type overdrive gearboxes stronger than the j type. i no what you mean though i think the mgb gt v8 only had overdrive in 4th gear cause off the extra tourque from the v8 engine
