Re: Oil leak
Tubman is correct,
The 8BA was the latest generation of Flathead back then .
They were engineering improvements with every generation of engine series .
And considering how fast these engines were assembled,,,,I can’t imagine how they did it so well .
The rope seals were installed in a few seconds,,,,,and sealed pretty darn good too .
Ford was really at the top of their game considering all the processes that are required to build a car .
Now,,,, I will admit I have never owned a Ford before my Flathead,,,(,8CM ),,,but I respect what they did .
Not because of my past experiences owning one,,,but by seeing how well they built .
These engines were designed and built very well .
I can’t believe how tight the tolerance were held during assembly,,,,,top quality bolts,,,excellent castings .
Pretty darn good in my book .
