The engine was frozen and I tried all the usual tricks to free it up.Found this slick idea on the web so I made one up and it worked a treat.[ATTACH=full]60594[/ATTACH]Looks like the PO or someone along the way had just done a rebuild on the engine but somehow stored it where water got in the left cylinder. My guess is the rocker boxes were not tight or just sitting on the engine because the cam followers and holders were rusted badly (water in the push rod tubes).Took a bit to get the holders out because of the rust. Replacing all the parts with new...very spendy parts BTW.Remembering how to work on Triumph's. Last one I had was back in the 70's.
