  • Triumph TR's and Unleaded Petrol

    Triumph TR's and Unleaded Petrol

    IS0021 Info rma tion Shee t Page 1 of 3 Triumph TR’s & Unleaded Petrol TRIUMPH TR’S AND UNLEADED PETROL An essay by Neil Revington of Revington TR, based on a handout produced for the TR Register international show, Shepton Mallet 1998. Firstly it is important to realize that all TR’s from TR2-8 can and will run correctly on unleaded fuel, so there is no need to panic. With the exception of TR5-6 with Lucas fuel injection, the only modification required, if at all, is the introduction of suitably hard seats into the exhaust valve seat area of the combustion chamber of the engines cylinder head, and suitably hard exhaust valves. BACKGROUND Since their discovery in the late 1920’s fuel additives containing lead in the form of lead alkyls, have been used in petrol to improve octane quality. In the early 1970’s environmental and health pressures resulted in a progressive reduction in the lead content of generally available pump fuel. The advent of the exhaust catalyst resulting ultimately in the introduction of unleaded fuel. Valve seat recession (VSR) is the main problem aggravated by unleaded fuel. Without protection the soft valve seats of an engine will rapidly wear. In engines with hydraulic valve lifters which automatically compensate for valve wear, many thousands of miles may be covered before a problem is detected. VSR starts with localized welding of the valve to the seat, followed by separation of small particles of metal from the seat area. These metal particles may become oxidized under the extreme heat found in the exhaust seat area, and become embedded in the valve, eventually building up to form ‘warts’ of hard iron oxides.

    Jaguar Land Rover to Pause Some UK Production on Chip Shortage

    Jaguar Land Rover to pause some UK production on chip shortage 1 Jaguar Land Rover will pause production at two UK factories, partly because of a shortage of computer chips. in Automotive News Europe / Reuters , 22-04-2021 Production at Jaguar Land Rover's factory in Castle Bromwich, shown, will be stopped temporarily. Output at Castle Bromwich and Halewood will be temporarily halted starting on Monday due to supply chain disruption, including a lack of semiconductors, the automaker said on Thursday. "We have adjusted production schedules for certain vehicles which means that our Castle Bromwich and Halewood manufacturing plants will be operating a limited period of non-production from Monday 26th April," the Tata Motors- owned company said. The production stoppage was first reported by the Guardian newspaper. https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/jaguar-land-rover-pause-some-uk-production-chip-shortage The models affected by production shutdown will be the Jaguar XE and XF sedans and the F-Type sports car, all built at Castle Bromwich, and the Land Rover Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque built at Halewood, the paper said. The shutdown is scheduled to last at least a week, according to the report. 2 JLR's plant in Solihull plant, England, which builds Range Rover models and the Jaguar F-Pace, is unaffected so far, the Guardian reported. The company's factory in Slovakia, which produces the new Land Rover Defender, along with plants in Brazil and China, also are unaffected. https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/jaguar-land-rover-pause-some-uk-production-chip-shortage .
