EDIT, and PLEASE don't fit that horrid rocker feed bypass that overlubricates the top end at the cost of crankshaft oiling, it's the spawn of satan!
Noted, although I had no plans to fit the rocker feed bypass. These were discussed on the TR Register webpages too, as a kit is available for the TR2/3/4 4 pot engines but all who fitted one suffered increased oil usage and ended up taking them off again. Needless to say there is not one on my TR3.

My apologies, didn't mean to teach granny how to suck eggs! However it's a question often asked (ie should I fit one) by the less experienced Triumph engine builder. Something you obviously are not!

No need to apologise Steve, yes over the years I have re built a lot of engines but when doing something new it never harms to ask others. As far as my TR3 goes I did build the engine, but it came without a head. I eventually located one in Birmingham, Alabama, USA, which had been reconditioned with new valves etc, so I never dismantled it, but looking at the parts book just now it seems that those too do not have stem oil seals either. Obviously a Triumph thing.
