The manual says to unscrew the screw plugs that hold the springs and balls, but my 76 does not have screwed plugs, they appear to be interference fit plugs, see this pic... http://tinyurl.com/oufsve6 So there is no way that I can see to get the plugs out. I did remove one of the shafts and of course the ball fell into the shaft tube and left the spring sticking into the tube. I can get the spring and ball back into what I think is the right position with a screwdriver and seal puller, but haven't been able to get it back into the hole to allow the shaft to pass under it.

I used 1/2" rod from Home Depot. I pushed it in from the back using the real shaft while easing the ball back into the slot with a screwdriver from the front. This allowed me to get back to square one with all three shafts in place and operating. So then I extended the dummy shaft idea and made three about 5" long and inserted them from the front as I withdrew the shafts. These kept the detent balls in their channel. I shook out the two interlock balls that prevent selecting more than one gear at a time as I inserted the dummy shafts. So now I have the top cover clear and can drill and tap...

Berry -----Original Message----- From: John North To: Triumph 6 Pack <6pack@autox.team.net> Sent: Mon, Dec 16, 2013 10:53 am Subject: Re: [6pack] Gear selector shaft detents I was able to get the loose ball back in the shaft using a dummy shaft about 3" long with the end cut at a 45 degree angle. I used 1/2" rod from Home Depot. I pushed it in from the back using the real shaft while easing the ball back into the slot with a screwdriver from the front. This allowed me to get back to square one with all three shafts in place and operating. So then I extended the dummy shaft idea and made three about 5" long and inserted them from the front as I withdrew the shafts. These kept the detent balls in their channel. I shook out the two interlock balls that prevent selecting more than one gear at a time as I inserted the dummy shafts. So now I have the top cover clear and can drill and tap...

I need to know the thickness of the fire ring (after being crushed). I had a TR6 block decked to true it and they took off .006", but now the recesses measure about .012" - I think I need to have the recesses re-cut, but I want to know how much crush we can get away with. I know the answer, but I want an actual measurement from a used head gasket. In a total lapse of good judgement, I actually threw out the one I took off this engine. GO figure.

The fire rings on my used gasket varies in thickness across the cylinders from 0.065 to 0.072". I had my head decked and they removed 0.009. A new Payen gasket worked fine. I never gave a second thought to the fire ring thickness and would suspect you have nothing to worry about. Cheers and Happy New Year!! Dave Friedlander On Fri, Dec 27, 2013 at 12:18 PM, Robert M.
