Hopefully one last question - do I also need to replace the tappets? I am going with tappet block guides and push rod tubes to fit the 68 head. Looks like 66-68 are the same....

Simply searching google images for "Triumph 70-6000" (these are in Part book 4 the correct items for 1966-68 TR6/T120) produces a number of well known vendors showing wildly different parts, including 70-9349 "wedding band" type pushrod tubes with the "sw...

Many thanks.. it gets very confusing indeed as if you enter a Google Images search for "Triumph 70-6000" you will get displays from various dealers showing different types of pushrod tubes, also sometimes dual named 70-9349! Is 70-9349 backward compatible with E600? It...

I just loosened cable. Will unscrew Rod a little tomorrow. Pretty sure I installed key, but guess this will be next check if previous doesn't do it. Neither of these explains why it's not slipping when in gear and bikes rolled forward though ?...

M20, my experience with Groves matches yours. I have ordered much from them, and they have an A+ rating from me in the shipping department. I also agree with Joolstacho, the primary chaincase is a real challenge to get leak free. Making a moveable gearbox to facilitate primary ch...

Hi All, I have about 1/16" left before the rivet heads are flush on the linings on my conical front brake, is it time to replace? I have a new set of brake shoes, the linings on the new shoes are only about 1/32" thicker than the worn linings, so there's probably a bit...

The "15" stamped into the carb's lozenge indicates the original motorcycle model application for which this carburetor was produced, by AMAL. That code identifies the jetting, slide and other internals of that carburetor. Also, "TR25W" or "BSA Starfire 2...
