Darryl,

Unfortunately no, the car is running with rather low oil pressure. At cold idle, it's registering only about 50psi, hot idle about 5psi and 3,000rpm hot about 25psi.

However, it's still ticking along quite nicely! That six is a tough engine! I do plan on doing a rebuild come fall so that will be remedied. Before they took my last TR6 to the scrappy, I yanked the triple Weber 40DCOE side draft carbs off of it, so those will go on this engine once it's strong enough to handle such "intense" carburetion. For now, I'm just dealing with the Strombergs, which surprisingly are not giving too much trouble as they were rebuilt not too long ago.
