John

John bevardos

Steve,
I drilled them out and used a drift to gently tap them out.

john

John bevardos

Rich ,
are you running splash with insert rods? Besides this issue, how are they working out ?

John

John bevardos

I have used steel and sprayed copper coat ---has been working great for years .

john

John bevardos

Hi Scott,
I have used them in the past --back in the 90s , and were very pleased with them . I believe Mclearan mfg were making them. Top notch!

john

John bevardos

My 24 roadster diff blew apart after the babbit thrust washers broke--no brakes is pretty scary . I rebuilt with brass thrust washers and added a/c brakes. john

John bevardos

excellent Scott !

John bevardos

I have used the duplicolor paint shop system with the preval sprayer with good results. You can get it at most auto parts stores and comes premixed.

John

John bevardos

Roger ,
did you just bolt it on or did you do any other mods?

John bevardos

I know, was made over a decade ago but is anyone still running this head?

thanks
John

John bevardos

Good evening gents, I have a Winfield BB S updraft carburetor. But it turns out the float chamber is for a downdraft, are there any issues with the way the carburetor would run as is? Thanks again, John

John

John bevardos

thanks fellas

John bevardos

Guys, thank you for all the replies. Dan, PM sent. Thank you, John

John bevardos

Hi guys , my basic math has left me ----- I have a crank that was ground .005 undersize and my connecting rod choices are either std or .010. Should I use the std size rods and take shims away or should I scrape the .010 down? Btw--its to replace existing rods in the engine already . Thank you John

John bevardos

Chris ,
who is doing the welding for you?

john

John bevardos

me too....

John bevardos

Ha ha !!!!
I work for Land Rover ---will post this in my office !!

John

John bevardos

God bless.

John bevardos

Forgot to add....looks like a recent rebuild...all looks new inside and has all shims in rods and mains...all was fine until this...

John bevardos

OK Model T brothers and sisters, with a good advice from Hank in Tennessee, I checked the wrist pin bolts for my knock, and they were all tight. I started probing further and I noticed some Babbitt coming off the thrust surfaces of the connecting rods. So it turns out I have 3 connecting rods where,...

John bevardos

looks excellent! Where did you get the crank and pointer from?

John

John bevardos

Thank you Hank, will definitely give that a try. John

John bevardos

Hi Hank, was kind of thinking the same thing because the rod was nice and tight on the journal so I left it alone. Thank you, John

John bevardos

Hi all, can't find my manual so I'm going to ask the professors here. Motor has a knock when it is just coasting not accelerating and not D accelerating. Number one rod was a tad loose could move it by hand so I remove to shims it's nice. Still had the knock as I drove it, shorted out all cylinders ...

John bevardos

Ha ! Looks like us 50 somethings will keep the hobby alive!

John bevardos

john

John bevardos

Hi John,
I believe that Gene French sells re-babbited bearings. Might try to reach out to him.

John
