The Flathead oil modification thread...
Hey all. After extensively reading Merc Cruiser's thread and gaining knowledge and confusion, I thought I'd start this thread.
Tonight I modified my 1948 59a flathead. I followed the directions found here .. www.flatheadv8.org/filter.htm Went well, took my time and am happy so far. I have a couple questions however.... First off, I had no grub screw so I suppose I should add one. Did Ford thread the passageway for me? I looked, but couldn't tell. Also, I read that I need to rotate the rear cam bearing 90 degrees. Why is that? I will be running an electric fuel pump, no mechanical pump used. How will that cam bushing get oil? And at the bottom of the 9/16 vertical passageway, should I do anything where the small passage intersects at 45 degrees near the pump? Enlarge, smooth out, or neither?
