Re: Valve Springs
Starting on page 36 of the MFK Wood paper in the Supertuning section he talks about both 1.25 and 1.5 engines. For the XPEG he mentions a few different cams, but it looks like he starts suggesting stiffer springs right at 10:1 C.R.

Re: TC rear axle pinon shaft oil seal
Dave- I do not have the number for you because I am using the original scroll seal cap. Someone will have it. Could it be that your pinion bearings are worn, and the shaft is turning a bit out of round? That would cause the rubber to distort and not seal. These TC pinion bearings have a history of b...

Re: TC tyres
I still say there is not a chance in hell the 6.1 inch wide tires are going to fit in the rear of a TC, unless non-stock wider rear fenders or cut down diff axles are used. The American Classic Model A tires Rob mentioned at 5.5 inch would be a very tight fit in back. All the pictures of the 155's o...

Showing proper 90 degree offset of flex couplings to minimize wear on shaft.

Re: TC Rear Wheel Bearings
One thing we need to keep in mind about wheel bearing types is that the wheels on a TC (and therefore the wheel bearings) are only ever spinning at a fairly low speed. A TC with 27" outside diameter tires, the wheels are only spinning at 754 RPM at 60mph. A TC with 30" outside dia (model A tires) ar...

Re: TC Rear Wheel Bearings
Roger mentioned the double row bearing some racers have used, as well as the modifications required. I was surprised to recieve the SKF 6208-RSJ bearings from Moss around 10 years ago, as their cost probably exceeded what they were charging for them at the time. Now they appear to be selling 6208 re...

Re: TC Rear Wheel Bearings
All the single row bearings here are deep groove. If something requires extreme sideloading protection then you would go with double row angular contact bearings, like on the pinion shaft. Double row angular contact ball bearings are far superior to stacked deep grove ball bearings for side loading....

Re: TC Rear Wheel Bearings
Go with the much better quality 6208-2RSJ (made in USA). You often get what you pay for in bearings. People on British car and motorcycle forums have been anti- SKF "Explorer" (plain old) wheel bearings for a long time. Interesting to note that SKF also makes some super high quality specialty bearin...

Re: sector shaft bore
Some further thoughts: ....However, seems that the end-play on the worm gear in its fore-and-aft positions, inside the box, is as much a concern for friction and slop as the drop arm up-and-down positions. Maybe these bearings and races on the worm gear ends are not discussed as frequently, but the...

Re: sector shaft bore
If you do not have the factory original worm then you probably have a nice paperweight. FTFU used to sell proper worms made in Canada through Bob Grunau. FTFU has not had them in stock for some time now. Nearly all of the aftermarket worms sold over the decades have been junk that do not work proper...

It was said the outer insulation was grey, Ray.
Here is an example of a "duplex wire" with outer insulation.

Re: spark plug advice
I agree with Steve on the Champion L86C spark plugs for a TC head. Standard tip, non resistor. Some will tell you to only run projected tip spark plugs, but I have found the equivalent heat range (L92YC) in projected tip to cause poor running at times. Original plugs from the factory were L10S which...

Take a look at the faff Moss is pushing for the wiper motor wiring.. Should make for a real classy wiring job at the regulator.

Re: Wiper ground wire.
Ray- The wiper motor is the only instance I can think of in the TC where a "duplex" wiring scheme is used. The positive and the negative wires each have a poly insulation (red and black) and both those wires underneath the poly insulation is a (small gage) solid copper strand, nearly identical to ol...
