I've been reading on several Triumph forums about the cracked engine blocks at the starter area. The cases were redesigned on 06 and later. My question is has anyone had the crack happen on the 06 or later bikes? Thanks for any response. ( I'm looking at used bikes as a second naked bike.)

I would like to install some type of engine block heater on my 94 vic (with police package) before I drop the "new" used engine in. Which type of heater do you guys recommend for these cars?? I have heard of the standard engine block heater...I have also heard of an oil pan heater. What do you guys think? Any info would be helpful. Thanks!

Hmmm, maybe Triumph should offer this repair kit to those with broken starters.... perhaps they could work out a deal with Honda to supply rope-recoil starters! Or seriously... put a proper kick-starter back on the bikes. The Kawasaki W650 twin came with one (plus electric) just a few years back! It would look very retro and 'in place' on our bikes. Might just get you home with a weak ...

Then use a different type of oil. I tried Mobil 1 once in our van and it had so much engine/valve noise, I thought I'd have to take it to the dealer. I just changed the oil to a different brand and it's quiet again. Won't touch that Mobil 1 again.

The row of numbers that has a "T" in it is where to look, the first digit is the block year, followed by the "T", which is the casting plant, Trenton. Next 5 digits tell if it is 3.2 or 3.5 and car it is/was in, newxt 4 are the month day of build. last 5 are the engine serial number. Unfortunately, the numbers are not always in a direct row, but the 1st number by the "T" is the ...
