Re: Shaving a t cylinder head
I was told years ago that there is a high head that has a thumb nail casting on the back, 20-21 era? That the bottom of the head was thicker and you could shave off 1/4 to get your higher compression? I was also told since you have to use a stock head on the Montana 500 this is the head they use?

Not uncommon to see an earlier crank installed in a later block, I have seen many of them, I like even better yet to see two heavy rods and two light ones in the same block, they did what they had to keep them running.

Phillip, If you are going to replace std. aluminum pistons where cast iron have ran they will rattle coming down a hill, the original cast iron have the oil ring on the bottom, that stops the piston rattle.

Re: Am i missing front 4th main bearing cap ?
Some may not know that the early driven plates had a different spring locking retainer, with that they take a shorter fourth main, I have came across this a couple times, just in case you are ordering one some one that way they send you the correct style.
