The oil pump drive can go anywhere. That timing is resolved when you time...

Re: Getting to Know an Old Jalopy Roadster and Making It Work

Too bad you waited, I sold my B with a factory forged CW crank and almost new rebuild, today. 3500$ funning out the door and the customer heard it run before he bought it. Guaranteed not to leak any...

Re: Getting to Know an Old Jalopy Roadster and Making It Work

Babbitt melts at 450 degrees. You cook a steak at that temp. This is why I stated the bronze is junk. I have never had anyone explain to me how to install it. I have seen it used in several motors...

Re: Getting to Know an Old Jalopy Roadster and Making It Work

The thrust goes in the block in place of the aluminum seal. You have to remove the babbitt in the top of the block to get it in. Once you get the babbitt off and that thing won't work, you will for...

Re: Getting to Know an Old Jalopy Roadster and Making It Work

I feel like I have made my point about the bronze junk but I don't believe even if it would work like it is advertized that is too much gap for even it to fix. I have never seen one worn like that....

The oversize (.004/.010) drive gears won't help with the slack....
