Re: Crankshaft White Metal Bearing to Shell Bearing Replacement
Mike Crankshaft Rebuilders in Melbourne converted my MPJG motor to shell bearings many years ago (early 1980s). No issues however Crankshaft Rebuilders are no longer in business.

Re: TA Rear Spring Trunnions
My TA (2841) had the bronze trunions in two halves as others have stated. However the rear trunion was geased as part of the central lubrication system, perhaps yours has been changed?

Re: Sump removal in the car

Sump removal in the car
I am in the process of replacing the gasket behind the engine mounting plate on my TC. I have the timing cover off but have hit something of a brick wall in removing the sump. All the bolts are out including those through the bellhousing however the sump is resisting gentle persuasion. Any suggestio...

Re: My car is too quiet!
The reproduction stainless steel muffler on my TC is also too quiet. The muffler is of a straight through design and it has occurred to me that by sliding a pipe right through the muffler the sound would become completely unmuffled. By drilling holes in the inserted pipe or similar means (angle grin...

Re: TC identification
The XPAW is a quite desirable replacement, the 1140cc XPJM not so much.
