Re: Rebuild kit 221
Suppliers tend to sell different packages of “engine kits”. We decided some time ago to just put together the group of parts that is specific to the customer’s engine......and his/her specific parts request. Plus, there are price variances in bearings for example. I can only imagine what someone would get for only $900 worth of flathead engine rebuild parts.
Pistons, rings, main bearings, rod bearings, cam bearings, all the various valve components, timing gears, oil pump, overhaul engine gasket set.......and all the various other bits and pieces that may be necessary. Obviously, you would need to know what the finished bore size will be, and the finished crank journal sizes will be.
Will you want adjustable lifters? How about water pumps, carburetor, fan belts, starter, new studs or head bolts, etc. many things can go into a rebuild package. This is why we figure out things with our customer and then build a specific package for him which we discount as a group. Just how we do it.......
