1974 Triumph TR6 - Part 71 - Distributor Drive Gear and Valve Adjustment 

Great video as always Elin, and thank you so much for the mention and sharing my video on your channel 👍

Another great video. Glad I’m up to date with this series, now I can get on with another of your playlist…..

Lots of progress 👍

Loving this series of videos, great job!.. looking to get a TR6 soon so I’m sure these instructions will come in useful..

Elin, if you fabricate an adapter, you can mount an engine (especially an in-line) on the engine stand by the engine mount pad on the side of the block and have access to both ends of the engine. Also. it may be too late but there are good places to add gusset plates to the chassis, mainly around the suspension mounts. These are used mostly by race builders but the stiffness and additional strength are useful to street cars as well. The funny shape of the front sway bar u-bolts come from running into a curb or parking lot stop. Also, the condition of the bumper mount holes on the left rear wing and the left rear valence come from a minor "bump" sometime in the car's past history. You do great work on the bodywork, something I always disliked and left to the pros. I used to wrench on a Mk II Spit SCCA race car (G Production) and worked during the week for Nissan/Datsun dealers.

Keep ‘em coming.

Great as Usual Elin all this and the time to hire out your small hands ha ha love the dropping sound effects :-)

Nice work Elin.. At 72, my tappets have run out of adjustment, so I tend to rattle a bit. But the better half tells me I'm still firing on four.. Bit worrying as I thought I had six.

Thx 👍🚗😊

Yeah, don't neglect to replace the tensioner, mine broke on my TR4 and cut a notch through the cover.

Elin, I recently picked up a very rough 1972 TR6. I feel very confident diving into it after watching your videos. Thanks for great content. What supplier do you use for your parts?

Elin the gasket(s) will compress a bit when the pedestal is tightened, so should you go slightly higher than the measurement you take? Or is it close enough?

Hi Elin, will your initial start be from a test stand or after engine is installed?
