Who would rebabbitt heavy rods and return them ? MEL.

Mel King

What I meant is the disc drum slides on the main shaft instead of presses on like the later ones with the three washers .MEL.

Mel King

I have run into two 1915 trans with brake drums that have the big bushings and the clutch disc drum does not press on and they both were running. Has anybody else run across this? Oh,and they are not worn . MEL.

Mel King

Thanks for all the advice . MEL.

Mel King

Whoops! There it goes!

Mel King

The reason I asked is the ones in my 15 have up to 60 tho side to side play on almost new babbitt . MEL

Mel King

Does anyone know what the rod side play should be on a rebuilt engine that has not been run much ? What is it suppose yo be originally? MEL.

Mel King

I just painted Lucille, our 15 roadster bright canyon red like my wife wanted . She got it ! :lol: :lol: It has a long way to go to be able to drive ,but it is a start . I asked ones that saw both which one they liked better ,and Lucille got more votes ,I wonder why? Vernon is a lot more along ready...

Mel King

Mel King

Call Charley Shaver he might still have parts, he built Vernon and Lucille for me so all I had to do was the outer body work and paint ,he does not do body`s but he might still have parts. 23&15 roadsters. MEL.
