We collected Robert’s TF135 from Beeford on Sunday ready for some major tlc at the workshop…
Yesterday and today spent working on her. Originally suspected as a seized engine we had intended to swap the entire engine out with one we had in.
Once we started removing more of the engine we discovered that it wasn’t as extensive damage as first thought.
We replaced the piston and liner on number one cylinder, cleaned out the sump as was full of congealed oil, replaced the oil pump and replaced the cylinder head. The timing belt had stripped its teeth and all the exhaust valve heads had snapped off.
New cambelt, water pump, tensioner and all gaskets replaced. Few other little tidy up jobs done.
All up and running again and sounding great, and with an earlier than planned reunion with the owners, which is always a good thing.
Hope you both have some good weather and runs out in her before the winter weather sets in. Posted today to the
Rough Luck Racing Facebook page.
