DrKai Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Hi, Unfortunately the PO has obscured the markings on my cylinder head. After chatting to Mr Burgess decided to get an unmolested tr6 head for him to work on to be sure of things. So the question: where to buy a used unmodified tr6 head? I've asked quiller- no joy Thanks Kai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume it will have bigger valves etc and CR modified as wel as porting. That will widen the net somewhat.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKai Posted February 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Thanks I'll try chic. Yes sorry any of those would be great. I'll ask about the others too. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daverclasper Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 I think Canley may have quite a few heads and have started to sell off their used stuff. I think they said to email them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Clark Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Wins International has a large stock of used Triumph parts so are well worth contacting: http://www.winsintltd.co.uk/ They helped me out with a GT6 flywheel last year, correct part, decent condition and sent promptly. I'm a satisfied customer! Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrKai Posted February 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Thanks everyone. I'm sure one of them should have something suitable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted February 3, 2020 Report Share Posted February 3, 2020 Be very careful when buying a TR head not to pay TR tax, they didn't just fit them to TR engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the smaller exhaust valve so is less likely to be cracked between the valves - this doesn't mean the large valve can't be fitted as part of a refurb. 218225 probably the next most common and 516816 still turn up occasionally. All can be used. It is the thinner ones for the flat piston 2L that are getting harder to find now. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
