1962 Triumph TR4, Engine Rebuild Series, Prepping to Pull the Engine and Transmission...

Pulling the Engine and Transmission in my 1962 Triumph TR4....its time for a full engine rebuild and we will be taking the opportunity to "upgrade" to some "go faster" parts in the process. The rebuilt transmission is making some funny noises, so we will inspect that as well.

Looking forward to watching this mini series.

Great stuff David.. I get the feeling Elin wanted to rebuild the engine when you were preparing the car before, but ran out of time. Looking forward to seeing the 'go faster' bits you chose for it.

[@indyme2]

You are fueling the fire, Candy Man, lol. Mama always told me Tush is a bad influence on you. Bring the videos on!

[@jimconklin8040]

David, great to see you again, twice in one day! I see how you overcame your cold garage, you just go to Elin's place to work. I don't have that luxury, as I do not know anywhere there is a heated empty garage to work in. Good luck with this project, I am sure between the two of you it will be like new when you are finished. How nice it must be to have someone who knows as much as you do when pulling out and engine and transmission. I think I know who will be the beer drinker, probably the guy who has "buy me a beer" on his KZbin site

Cool

[@asicerik]

Man, you put us all to shame with how much work you get done!

[@davidwarr8600]

Looking ahead to this project. You guys sure have lots of energy and drive.

[@andrewward3752]

I love what you've done with this car!

[@craigwiest772]

My challenge is putting the engine back in. 😂 Do you plan/recommend performance upgrades - bigger cylinders and pistons (86,87mm), bigger valves, cam, etc.?

[@cheftush]

Hi Craig, yes..bigger pistons/liners, cam already on hand…and some fancy carbs too 😉

[@roundtailrestoration]

Looking forward to the rebuild. I'm slow going my rebuild so much you guys should pass me and I can learn your lessons!

[@cheftush]

Hi Chris, I’m looking forward to the rebuild…I have some parts for it already but I’ll need to order a second batch….probably be a couple of weeks before I start to assemble…it will give me time to clean and paint though…

[@nicktomasi392]

Ready to make popcorn!! Will relax and watch.. you guys Crack-a-Laggin

[@BruceBoschek]

...and when the engine is all fixed up and back in the car please take the car to Earl Scheib and get it tidies up properly! Thanks

[@cheftush]

We are debating painting the engine bay 😉

[@DavesTR4A]

Looking forward to what you find with the motor and transmission. It sounded pretty good pulling into the shop today.

[@cheftush]

It will be fun to tear the engine apart…kind of a shame we need to get into the trans though….

Zoom zoom zoom 😊

[@dannyplanck6498]

You say 4 hrs , Alin says 4 hrs , that makes 8 hrs , right ?

[@cheftush]

2 people 4 hours…1 person 6-8 hours is my guess. Depends on how familiar you are with the car and how fast/slow you work.

[@philtucker1224]

Hi Dave, will you be fitting a slightly “warmer” camshaft in the four-pot?

[@cheftush]

Absolutely Phil..Fast Road already on hand with 87mm pistons/liners for starters 😉

[@RustyBeauties]

3st :)
