Hi,
An acquaintance brought a seized TR6 engine to my local machinist and somehow I 
got in the loop. I sold the guy a complete lower block assembly that should be 
rebuildable... blah blah blah. In the loop conversation, the machinist told the 
customer that the original block was probably okay, but the caps were junk 
because they were hot enough to turn blue. Customer had the oil gauge line blow 
off the block and ran the engine dry until it seized. In any case, The lower 
assembly I sold the guy should be rebuildable as is the original engine would 
be IF we could source a set of main caps that can be assembled and the block 
align bored.
My preference is to try to keep the block I sold the guy "complete" as a core 
for an engine project and I have a couple of cranks that I can sell to the 
customer.
So, I'm looking for a complete set of 4 TR6 main bearing caps in serviceable 
condition.
I told client that his best bet is to score a complete engine and strip off 
what he needs, he didn't seem to want to do that. Go figure. The situation is 
"self explanatory".
But if you have some TR6 main caps lying around, drop me a line.
