Triumph TR6 Engine Rebuild - Part 7 - Assembling And Installing The Head

[@williamparnell5417]

Thanks. Great stuff again.

That rainx isn't working very well. 😐

[@RustyBeauties]

Well, it was good enough. I think you are supposed to let it sit for a while before you wipe it off, but I didn’t have the time. The rain was close :)

[@jimmi567321]

I ran across your channel and I really really enjoy watching you rebuild the engine of the triumph. You are an amazing human. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the Series

[@iceman9678]

I am in the process of overhauling a Rover T16 NASP and your videos are very helpful.

[@krisbarrow]

I agree with most of what you said, however, as a new player of SC it has so many bugs the biggest is I can’t retrieve my ship which does spoil the Emerson don’t you think

[@davidsebestyen50]

I would have put lubricant on the threads for the nuts before I torque them. I believe it an earlier video you said you were going to lubricate the studs when you put them in so the head would come off easier

[@barry6274]

Another great build video. Anyone who follows your video won't go wrong. Thanks again.

[@mayflowerfilm1980]

I really enjoyed your video's, Elin. Seen a lot in the last two, three days.

pour moi la plus belle des carrosseries c'est la GT6 MK3 des annee 70 les mk2 sont moins jolies c'est mon choix

[@rayclarine793]

First engine that has no valve stem oil seals

[@pbysome]

Love it, whoever gets this engine will be pleased. What is the standard compression ratio?

[@RustyBeauties]

It was 7.6 so 8.4 is a good improvement.

[@Vespanation]

That Triumph part number on the top of the head, 218227. it that a TR6 head? Maybe GT6+?

[@RustyBeauties]

It is definitely a TR6. I don’t think GT6s ever came with a low compression heads.

[@tonyspiga2505]

les clips des soupapes sont pas ajuster aux milliemes il risquent de sauter hors de leur axes dangers oups

[@davidberlanny3308]

Great rebuild series, really enjoyed watching. Look forward to seeing how you prime the oil, I seem to recall doing this with the starter motor (and no ignition!!). Are you going to bench test it? Good luck from Spain!! PS: Great to see the Canadian Mounted Police leading the Queens funeral processión, respect!!

[@MrDazvere]

I can confirm the two longer studs were indeed for the a/c compressor bracket and were installed in the first two stud holes on the left of the engine when viewing from the front of the engine.

[@RigelStudiosLasVegas]

Make it an hour ... I love your videos!

[@luisangelsotojimenez1257]

Where is the valves seals.

[@RustyBeauties]

No valve seals on these babies. The engineers didn’t think they were needed :)

[@coffeecoffee605]

hi Elin. Great meeting you at the car show . Hope the polaroid turned out ok . Great video. thanks.

[@RustyBeauties]

It was nice meeting you too. Hope you have your car ready soon so you cam enjoy it for a few rides while the weather allows.

[@RigelStudiosLasVegas]

If you want to find half, just fold your tape in half form 0 to 20.5

[@RustyBeauties]

:) I was looking for a third, not a half

[@dbriddie9525]

Why re-use the head studs? Wouldn't it have been prudent to have fitted new ones while it was easy to do. Old ones could be stretched, fatigued etc, no?

[@RustyBeauties]

Well, I’ve always reused the studs and I’ve never had issues so far. I know it is a good idea to replace them, but that is valid for everything and you can’t just replace everything :)

[@johnmoruzzi7236]

Nobody does that unless they are corroded Jaguar XK studs, even those get cleaned up and reused normally. They aren’t long stretch bolts from a modern OHC engine.

[@paulfanning7059]

I’m surprised there was no Form-A-Gasket in the core plugs!

[@philtucker1224]

I think the core plugs have to remain a clean interference fit so they can release correctly ( if ice forms and expands in the block).

[@RustyBeauties]

Yeah, I am not even sure it does anything in this application, so I am not too worried about it on core plugs

[@johnmoruzzi7236]

Not needed for any of this assembly… dry gaskets worked fine in the factory when the engines were built. Maybe a smear of Hylomar blue to stop the rocker cover gasket from falling out or possibly if you’re reusing a thermostat gasket because one wasn’t supplied. Gasket maker is instead of a gasket so serious overkill on the thermostat fitting !

[@philtucker1224]

No valve stem oil seals on this head Elin? 🤔

[@RustyBeauties]

Triumph never used oil seals on the TR’s There are after market ones available, but I believe the do more harm than helping as they do not allow proper lubrication between the valve guides and the stems and lead to premature wear. Just my oppinion

[@pbysome]

@@RustyBeauties that's a strong opinion shared by many engine builders and makes absolute sense.

[@philtucker1224]

@@RustyBeauties I agree Elin, (I’m pretty sure it does restrict lubrication for the sake of less blue smoke/oil consumption). I can’t remember if Dave used any on his last build?
