We’ve just finished the rebuild of this fast road engine for a locally owned Triumph Spitfire. Southern Rebore Services carried out the machining work. It’s the 1500cc variant, however, its had some cylinder head work and a fast road camshaft. This should make for a more spritely drive. The gearbox and overdrive have also been fully rebuilt. This should be be great fun to drive.
We’ve finished another TR engine for a local customers TR4A. This should make for a really nice road engine with oversize pistons and liners, lightened flywheel and a fully balanced bottom end.
Since returning from Silverstone classic we removed the sump to check what has happened to the XK140. It is evident that the bottom end bearings had suffered so the decision was made to pull the engine for further inspection and unfortunately, a rebuild.
