Quoted from jango Thanks for posting the vids, cars sounds really well and is covering the ground as fast as ever, circuit is very good tarmac (we've not been to Blyton and didn't know what to expect), hope you had a good time, I certainly enjoyed seeing the car out on track. Steve |

I presume the small plate on the LH side of the transmission tunnel is for easier access to the g'box filler plug? ![]() 1976 TR7 FHC (currently undergoing some TLC ...) 1980 TR7 DHC (a.k.a.

Quoted from Beans Being a car only to be used on track, we would make alterations if it gave better access or say remove the engine easier |

Quoted from jango I think that the pressures look OK, remember that the 4.6 engine has the early original front cover (as per 3.5) along with its oil pump. If 1 bar equals approximately 14.5 psi then your figures convert approx as below: 1. cold tick over 4 bar = 58 psi 2. 2500rpm cold 5.5 bar = 80 psi 3. water temp 90deg tick over 1.3 bar = 19 psi 4. 2500rpm 3.5 bar = 50 psi We expected 20/25 psi at tick over when hot and 40/50 psi when revving and hot and from your figures its achieving these figures (whilst static), next test is to take note of the pressures when running and cornering. When’s your next outing!!! |

Just done Cadwell Park, oil seams ok when any revs are on but after 20 mins run oil drops very low .8 off bar and once in a blue moon on corning it drops off has well so will fit a new style oil pump for next year.
