QuestionI have stripped the engine, and mean to replace both ends and mains. The shells I have taken out are, I am certain Vandervell, but there is no sizes stamped on them, only part numbers. I have been on the Vandervell site, and they don't list the TR7, every other TRiumph sports car, but not the 7 or the Doli Sprint.
The part numbers are VP5104 at one end of the shell, and 145396, at the other, and that is on a big end.
On the mains shell, the part number is VP5103, and 143040.
What I would like to know, is a cross reference to another bearing manufacturer. I hope you can help me, many thanks in anticipation.
AnswerTony, sorry but I'm not going to be of any help on this one.I didn't do any work on TR7's and I can't think of anyone who is glad they did.I always took the block,crank and rods to a machine shop and let them handle it,then I would assemble it myself.I guess keep searching the web for TR7 parts and mechanics.again sorry I couldn't help.David
