Driveshaft

Here's a silly question, is it possible to remove the driveshaft without removing the engine or rear end? I need to repair the 4th main engine bearing.
Thank you

Front springs 1926 Ford T

My question is, the front springs have a clamp one on each side of the springs under radiator. Are they supposed to be tight? They do move when shaken but they stay in place. They are noisy.

1926 Tudor
Thank you.

Valves

Hi there, I installed new stainless valves and adjustable lifters in my 1926 T. I just put the valve and lifters in and adjusted the valves to .014. Engine starts fine but engine lacks power. Should I have taken head off and re-time valves?

Thank you

1926 Tudor gas tank capacity

Hello. I cannot find the fuel capacity of a 1926 Tudor (cowl gas tank) I thought I drained the tank, but when I added fuel it only took 7 gallons of fuel.

Engine knock

Replaced pistons/rings. Now have engine knock when advancing engine timing. Quiet at idle, noise increases when advancing Distributor with advance lever and increasing rpms.
