    Tiger fuel pump

    Thanks for all the input guys. I found a pump from Rick @ Sunbeam Specialties. The new pump is going to be a backup and travel with the car. My old pump was leaking. I tightened the flange screws and the leak went away. Thanks, Russ

    Tiger engine installation

    Lot's of advantages to removing from the bottom. Remove the front tires, put a floor jack under the crossmember, remove four bolts and pull it out the front. From the bottom there is less chance of damaging paint or sheet metal. The engine and transmission is best lowered onto a very low...

    Tiger Cooling Mods

    cooling mods Robin, Sorry, I mistakenly indicated that I raised the front of the engine by 1/2". I actually installed a 1/2" spacer between the motor mounts and the block. This of course raised the front of the engine approximately 1". Changing motor mounts is not necessary. I used 1/2"x1"...

When I was addressing the cooling problem on my Tiger, I could not locate a Fairmont pulley. I bit the bullet and had an aluminum...
