Ronnie & Bruce-thanks for the explinations-I can now tell my sbc chevy friends to not be smug about the full flow oil filtering of the cheby. At the end of the day the vaulted chevy has the same percived limitations as the beloved flathead. Old Dad thanks for getting us back to the orighinal topic.

Very informative. Thanks to all those involved.

This is a fine example of why I like the Ford "Bahn" so much.

Should the idler bushing be replaced if the block was hot tanked or will it survive even that? Thanks.

Great information. For some reason, it reminded me of the "Hoppah" commercials.

It depends on what the machine shop used for solvent in there hot tank. Some of that solvent will eat the bearing right out of an engine. Some have a soapy solution that won't hurt babbit. BUT, if your running an engine thro a hot tank why are you leaving idle gear in the block? If you going to clean an engine STRIP IT FIRST. Walt

Thanks Walt. I did strip it, but I'll need to check if the bushing remained in place or it came out with the idler.

I am working on my 59AB right now and took a break to come in and look at these videos again as a refresher. I look little and then freeze the picture, go out and do a hands on look, come back and play a little more, freeze again, go look some more and so on. After a few minutes the wife is looking at me like?????????????
Thanks again for posting this Jeff, and to Walt for a great explanation. Some of us Geezers need al the help we can get.

Hi Everyone, flatford8, here's a thread about the tour where the video was taken. Other searches for Maine Summer Tour will turn up more stuff.

Hi Everyone, Here's a link to the photobucket album from the trip. Pages 10 (older, first) to 5 (newer, last) are where the shots from Walt's shop are. Photos include the car show going on in his side yard at the time, and breakfast beforehand.

Bumping this to the top one more time because oiling is coming up again (and it was such a good time).

So many faces that did me hard in this video series. My Dad is in there and he's gone since '13. So you will also see my road bestie-buddy JM35 who has held my hand and watched me frick things up from before I figured out how a flattie works. Heavy hitters and heavy emotions. Let the ones you love know about it ASAP.
