    I've seen and reconditioned far worse. As long as no con rods have said hello to the outside world, it's more than likely salvageable.

    Good luck 🤞

    If you're getting a new timing chain, I would recommend buying a duplex chain kit. With the sub standard materials everything seems to be made from it will hopefully be as good as an original single chain.

    It's for the best, get the OD box & the new carbs fitted at the same time & there will be hardly anything left that hasn't been done. She should (hopefully) be a good girl for a few years.

    Good luck, hopefully it's not too nasty inside the engine. 🤞

    It's £500 cheaper on car and classic. https://www.carandclassic.com/l/C1672958 It's still too expensive for the condition.

    Also ask on the TR Register

    It was a good day & good to catch up with friends, I managed to haemorrhage a bit more money on Spitfire bits. After being stuck in traffic for an hour last year, I decided to plan ahead. I had taken note of road closures etc & set off early enough to arrive at opening time. The queue was only back to the gate at 9:30.

    This may be a silly question but can't you get international cover from your US insurer?

    I was thinking whole Heralds.

    It came up on a Google search for massive concrete mixer & it looked the part... Maybe I should have used this one.

    That's not overkill. However, this is overkill.

    You could start again... 1965 Triumph Herald 12/50 https://www.carandclassic.com/l/C1675359

    I'll second that, there's been so much work done so far there's very little left to go wrong.

    Get a price from your local reconditioner for the machining required & we can talk in a couple of weeks at Stoneleigh. P.S. I'll be bringing baked goods 😊

    You should never do totting up of any of the costs involving your Triumph...
  20. Amy Wade
    Where are you based? There might be someone local that has a selection.

    You can tell by the sparks if it's hardened - whilst grinding hardened steel you will get small, quite dark red sparks, should you break through the hardening, the sparks become more orange and sparkling.

    Biscuits - everyone needs Biscuits.
  23. Amy Wade
    I'll see you there 😊 I might get baking too 😊
  24. Amy Wade
    Is @Wendy Dawes doing her famous triumph shaped biscuits?

    If they're OEM, they're hard all the way through, when I was in the trade doing engine reconditioning we would frequently load up the magnetic chuck with shims & send them through the surface grinder. That was last century, the modern ones are probably made out of soft chinesium & could well be the problem.
