If it's these guys: Performance Research Industries 1313 Duke St. Ste.  
A Sutherlin, OR 97479
my experience was more on the negative side.

They demanded $12 to ship a Spitfire manifold gasket that cost $15.  
Seemed excessive and I said so but they insisted. The gaskets arrived  
a little bent..so much for my $12. Their stated policy "all shipping  
charges (national and international) are calculated and applied at  
time of shipping due to the uniqueness of each part"  seems ingenuous  
given the flat rate they charged me and the poor job of protecting the  
product.  Also the gaskets were not as they appeared in their online  
ad so it's questionable whether I even got what I paid for. But I'm  
tired of dealing with them and will move on.

Subject: [6pack] Connecting Rods with Relief Holes
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Errors-To: 6pack-bounces@autox.team.net

I found a donor engine for my "hot rod" TR-6 engine project. It's a late
72/early 73 that's likely been apart once before. It's in fine condition
inside though and even appears to have a forged crankshaft.

My question is that the connecting rods on 4,5,6 have relief holes at the
base of the beam. Any idea why this was done to certain rods? Are they
structurally inferior to those that do not have the holes?

Thanks!

Hi,

There are two rod styles for TR6, early and late. The late rods appear 
with the change to CF / CR comm. numbers.

The early rods are "better" if you're building a race engine. This is 
according to a reliable source with credentials in materials science.

All TR6 cranks are forged. EN40, if I recall.

If your motor has three early rads and three late rods, there's probably a 
story there unless you have an early CF / CR block in which case you have 
"the luck of the draw"...

Also, if you have different rods types, I'd make sure the dynamic balance 
of the motor is good - there's a difference in the weight of the early and 
late rods. ;-)

regards,
rml

I may be talking out of turn, but my understanding is that factory rods will
not withstand significant increases in horse power in these 6-cylinder
engines.  When I rebuilt my 250, I went for upgraded rods as a hedge against
this.  I also installed cam bearings but I did stay with the original crank.

I'd suggest,If not going over 150hp, then the stock rods will be fine.

I thought I read the late rods were better??? I must be mistaken.

There's no "out of turn" here. So, no worries.

Kastner built his 12.3:1 motors with factory rods. Granted, they were 
prepped to a high level, but they were factory rods. The prep included 
lightening and polishing, end-to-end balancing.

But they got 165-ish HP on those motors which is def. borderline 
"significant increase in power".

Part of the discussion should always address the "why" aspects. In his 
case, Kastner was restricted by rules. Our situations may be different, 
but still constrained by factors such as money or availability of parts.

>From a cost / price perspective, getting a set of alternate rods is 
probably cheaper than paying for all the prep referred to above. Unless 
you do all your own work and you charge $0 / hr for your labor in which 
case the stock rods are the way to go (because you have them).

I agree on cam bearings. It's worth the cost. Period.

The original crank is fine unless you plan to turn stupid RPMs in which 
case you pretty much have to look at billet cranks and learn to write 
REALLY BIG CHECKS without flinching. Of course, if you're trying to get 
stupid big power from a TR6 engine, common sense and affinity for your 
cash are long gone from the picture.

Don't forget the factory CP cars were 150 HP in stock form.

> I thought I read the late rods were better??? I must be mistaken.

I've had some lengthy discussions with JK Jackson about this and he was, 
adamant that early rods are the better choice.

I believe the reason that the early rods are better is that they don't 
start out with a huge stress riser drilled into the rod at the spot where 
the stresses all converge.

But I've been wrong before.

Added FOT to this string -- sorry for those it is a duplicate.  Wanted to
try to equate the hp number I just got of by car from a DynoJet chassis
dyno with the numbers from "back in the day".

Found a great article at :
http://www.hardtail.com/techtips/hpexplained.html

to net it out, as it were:
HP before 1972 in US was a gross figure -- engine dyno, no accessories.
After 72 SAE HP is engine with accessories -- about a 20% parasitic loss
(net SAE)
When you factor in rear wheel through drive train with a standard tranny
you lose 15% more.

My racing TR6 was measured at 172 on the dyno [and running rich] with PI,
hottest cam I can get, lots of head work and a Pacesetter exhaust maifold
to 2.5" pipe with racing muffler [am putting in  a Goodparts header before
racing next year].  Using .15 for parasitic loss instead of .2, I get about
202 SAE Net HP and a wopping 238 using 1970 gross SAE values.  I seem to
recall in one of KAS books they were getting around 240 HP on the engines
-- and there gross versus net were probably the same as thee were no
"accessories" on the race engine.  That seems about right also -- I should
pick up some HP with the header and leaning it out and I run about 12.5:1
compression.  Think Kas was around 14:1.

Hey all,

Trying to figure out a piece of Triumph trivia with my Dad...did the
Canadian market get the TR5, or the TR250?  Online references about the TR250
are somewhat contradictory/vague, sometimes saying that the 250 was for the US
market, other times stating it was the North American market.  What's the
word?

Thanks,
Tim

Canada, like the US, received the TR250. No TR5's were sold as new in North
America.
