Re: How to repair damage to a deck
I just saw the post re the mig. I have no experience of mig on cast but have successfully welded up a cracked pan rail on a flathead block using (I think) high nickel arc welding rods specially made...

Re: How to repair damage to a deck
What would happen if you drilled and tapped for a pipe plug right on the fire ring line. Then fit a plug and cut/file it off flush with the deck?
Just sort of thinking out loud. From experience,...

Re: No oil pressure on new build
If I had an engine that was rebuilt 30 years ago I'd probably tear it down and reassemble it just for peace of mind. All that lube that was put on back then is probably dried up and gummy now.

Re: Pitman arm question
If you don't have a clash situation due to split bones being where the pitman arm wants to be, a 32 arm will fit the F2 box.
I'm using a 32 arm on my 32 frame on my current build with a f1 box. It...

Re: Brain Fade!
And when you build a fresh engine and put it in the recipient vehicle, don't forget to put some oil in it. Don't ask why I mention this.

Re: Pressure plate bolt torques
I just did some 59A ones up and used no more than 20 lb ft. It felt a bit heavy to me, rather than light. They are a 5/16 coarse thread and can and will break if overtorqued.

Re: Shackle Stud Replacement
I used to do the removable perches and springs using the vise as a press. On my 33 I took a vise that wasn't bolted to the bench and used that to press the bushes into my rear axle perches.

Re: Cam clean-up?
If you're havering towards giving it a go, the base circles are not loaded at all so can have pits, the opening side of the lobe is most heavily loaded, so ideally you'd like any pitting there to be...

Re: How to compute HP
Some historians claim it’s a myth that Rolls-Royce ever described the power output of its models with a dismissive, understated word: ‘adequate’.
Well it's a bit like that. A Flathead's...

Re: Cam clean-up?
I don't think even I would try and run that one, GB. Do you not have any other potential cores to hand?

Re: Drivetrain Advice Needed
Fortunateson, highways are normally run in top gear, so in that situation the gearset is irrelevant. If you will need to start on hills then the 15/29, as stated would suit well.

Re: fuel pump push rod
Can you rotate the fuel pump body one pitch on the screws and get an alignment that will work?
The threads are 1/2"-20 fwiw but it's not normal to need a 90 degree fitting.

Re: Seem odd, sanity check :eek:
Merc, My guess is that they had bigger fixings at the front ports because the earlier ones had the exhaust system attached at the front port. If you think about it, the later manifolds have 7/16"...

Re: Seem odd, sanity check :eek:
Anthony. The front ports are 7/16 top and bottom and the middle and rear ports are 3/8. The headers typically have holes in them that are big enough to go over the 7/16 bolts at the front but the...
