    Tea 20 engine jamming

    Pulled the head today. Found one bent pushrod. Upon investigation found the tappets (pushrod buckets) in no 2 cylinder seized or moving very little. This appears to be the problem and what was jamming the engine. I think if I had watched the operation of the valve train more closely I would of...

    Distributor Timing

    I bought a tea 20, not running. Noticed the distributor was out (clockwise from its normal position by about 90 degrees) I adjusted the timing (hole in flywheel on No. 1 cylinder, rotated the distributor set points ) and tried to start engine. Sounded like it was firing back on itself. I moved...
