Triumph TR6 125-150hp conversion Part 1 - Engine removal and strip down

Over this mini series Im going to show you whats involved in stripping down the TR6 engine for refurbishment. While doing it well take the opportunity to refresh some of the parts and in particular the challenge of changing from a high torque 125hp CR version engine to the 150hp CP version engine.
Other upgrades along the way will be a lightened flywheel and improved cooling.
So strap in and enjoy the ride. As always feel free to comment and subscribe to the channel. Always love to hear your feedback and aim to respond to all contributions.

As usual a fantastic series of videos. Thank you for sharing. I too have… Replaced the cam (fastcam88) Bore out the cylinders Was fortunate to have Mr. Malcolm Jones of Prestige before retiring to build me a complete set of metering unit, throttle bodies, linkages, and injectors. My car here in California does run rich and I didn’t know how to adjust the mixture. A few days ago I saw a gentleman on KZbin (pink TR6) adjusting the mixture by turning the nuts on top of the metering unit counter clockwise to adjust the mixture, have no idea which way to lean and which way to rich, how much to turn it. Do you know how to adjust the mixture? Should a I even attempt it? Much thanks. Sam

is it worth considering upgrading the PI system to modern fully electronic engine management using systems such as Megasquirt or Omex as this will give much greater adjustability and reliability as well as getting rid of the notorious Lucas system. Authenticity does not seem to be a primary goal as you are changing the cam for an aftermarket one and lightening the flywheel and recalibrating the Lucas mechanical system will be a fraught mission. Just changing the timing chain and sprockets will pep up the power on its own. I have never seen a duplex chain stretch so much as here! Possibly poor previous maintenance?

EFI would be nice and is the ultimate solution for the TR6. Might go there in the future. Thanks for watching
