| Note the damage from the flywheel movement last time. |
This is my record of the restoration of my 1977 Triumph TR7, I bought the car in 1983 for £1500. Over the four years of driving it I had got married, moved to a 110 year old cottage in need of renovation and given a new company car. The TR was parked in the garage (1987) at the end of the garden. I always joked saying "that one day I put it back on the road". Twenty-four years later (Nov 2011) that day has arrived - wish me luck.

Engine breakdown... pt13
Timing chain assembly and cover – I started by removing the crankshaft pulley, wedging the crank with a block of wood and undoing the large bolt.
By removing the remaining bolts I lifted off the cover and started undoing all the bolts holding the gear assembly, chain guides and timing chain tensioner. Using a allen key to remove the jackshaft keep plate I then slipped out the jackshaft.
I dropped some the bits into the ultrasonic clean which does a good job given enough time.
1.5 hrs (I had very cold fingers!)
