04 - . Second day , came the beast

Well !
It was possible to remove the engine and allow the gearbox to the frame , the trick has been to support the housing on previously stable support to prevent the vacuum is suspended from the center support the clutch.




























With the hood removed , taking the strength to start the assault

To properly secure the change below , gaining needed space under the TR to locate the hydraulic minicrick , so I have asked the TR to step on the sidewalk , first one leg and then the other . Good boy.

We have already understood what it meant:

"déposer l'accouplement de crémaillière", 

but you do not completely remove it , just roll back the leg bracket to the engine sits on the shilling has room to block out , for it is only necessary to completely remove the two nuts from the bracket.














At this point , Dani starts the tasks of lifting motor.

Lifting motor

And it seemed clean, now is work cleaning, degreasing and painting of the engine area .

.... and now - after taking a breath - a look around us , it is a luxury to work surrounded by vehicles deposited in Storage

Working surrounded by Ferraris, Porche , Austin -Healey ...Jaguar, Mercedes...

03.- First disassembly day

No way back! Accompanied by Dani , Storage mechanic that is leading me by the hand ...

The real challenge for executives is to recognize

you are always a learner.

The second challenge is to listen and learn from those who knowhow.

The feeling of having a Webber on hand.

Will we be able to return it to its place? Let's hope.

The radiator weighs his own , but there is no doubt

where it must return .... front of the fan .

 It's already released the right side of the engine

The left is some work to be done.

Consider, now the TR is out radiator , no battery, no fan, no starter , no alternator, 

no carbs no exhaust manifold without the intake , Capless delco or cables and I've retired,

 in inside the vehicle , the lid covering of the the clutch, gearbox and overdrive .

We'll just try to get the engine out or we'll have to remove it assembled with gearbox and overdrive.

The next chapter will not miss ...

Here you can see two carburetors

Interesting photo, you can see the fabulous fuse box with the English boasting Triumph have given the simplicity of origin.

This has resulted over the years, have been appearing flight fuse that can be seen flying behind the battery. The work order will require the installation and provide a fuse box.

01.- Triumph TR4, The story begins

In this blog I'll try to collect the story of my Triumph TR4. 30% of the people 
interested in this story comes from US o Rusia, so, I have decided to translate 
my blog proyectotr4.blogspot.com.es into english. I beg your pardon as I'll be 
working on it and my be you my find some errors on it.

After replacing the cylinder head casting by a new one, 
the car was running worse than at the beginning.
