Been busy with other things and couldn't get to working on the triumph. One of the things taking my time was my boating hobby. Last weekend I sold the boat. That will no longer get in the way.
This Saturday i pulled the motor to begin the timing chain guide repair. I bought the donor car cheap as this needed to be done. With the engine out I figured It would be fairly straight forward. Won't bore you with the details as VR6 motors aren't the focus of this forum. But one hang up is the oil pump needs replaced. Due to issues with the timing chain (the pump is driven by the chain) the impeller/gear was pushed hard against the back casting scoring both. Also the high pressure fuel pump cam was surface fatiguing so that needs replaced too. So need some more parts before it can go back together.
