Re: Interesting bore dimensions
As I have a complete Sioux and complete B&D valve seat grinding aparatus with maybe 30 good stones each, There is no question on how it will be done here. I'm going to assume that Les, over in the machine shop will dress the newly installed hard seats with his equipment before I pick it up. For the time being I'm looking at a couple of the blocks that are good candidates for shop overhaul. That's why I'd like the ability to replace a failed valve seat. I have a jailbar tonner chassis that someone cut the rear frame rails short, some half-decent cabs, lots of nice front fenders, a wrecker boom some hillbilly made from model A frame rails, a 5 ton hand crank winch, basically everything I need to make a 'junkyard dog' wrecker for use on my ten acres. Picture the oxy-atcetylene set behind the cab.... Hope to get started next Fall for a winter project. Of course it will need a V8 so I will pick a block and use all this new to me tooling and build something. All of that will have to wait on the woodie engine/trans swap out. Something makes me want to consider a 9" for the rear, specially if I go with a T-5

Re: Interesting bore dimensions
Interesting: I've rum 1.72 valves in a numberof engines, mostly race engines. However, I did do this to a 258 stock engine with EAB cam in a 59 block with EAB heads sa well. IT ran verywell had power up to 5k, shuta used a bigger cam. Wonder where it is today?

Re: Interesting bore dimensions
GB
Seems like you need one of these: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...g-bandsaw.html new forum member here. I don't own a Ford lol. I have a 1930's Yates American Y30 Snowflake bandsaw. It has a brake and the shoe has "Ford " stamped on it. It looks just like one that is forsale on ebay. The ebay one is 225 bucks. Is that going rate? Or would i be better off searching elsewhere? Mine works but has been repaired. Any advice is appreciated.

Re: Interesting bore dimensions
If you can't find one just grab a length of 1" re-bar like this guy did. Amazing what they do in 3rd world countries, but note two things... First is this guy's hands. Appears that every finger has been smashed in some way or other and next is how he built up the valve seat with weld. Isn't that one of the methods used to loosen up a seat for removal? My thinking is the seat with all that weld becomes semi-molten, accepts the size/shape of the un-yielding counterbore, then cools and shrinks, aiding removal. Just afraid this poor guy is gonna drop that seat pulling a long grade in with an overload after all this otherwise rather impressive work. Yes, it's dead of winter and at 5am valve work videos are less depressing than the local Seattle news.

Re: Interesting bore dimensions
Well I think it was Ol Ron that said “ when you don’t have money you make some good parts “ or something like that . We have a cold front going through, was 60* this morning, had to wear a long sleeve shirt ! Our local news is the same as yours . Depressing.

Re: Interesting bore dimensions
Just got off the phone with Les at the machine shop. I had a few questions for him and we also discussed balancing the rotating assembly. So now I'm considering getting on the ferry with the crank and pulley, he has the flywheel already. So it looks like I'm in that situation of "well it's already apart and at the shop, might as well get it balanced". Oh well, it Does make sense to do it now. IIRC the flywheel is drilled for 10" clutch, which I don't have yet.

Re: Interesting bore dimensions
If you are going to get things balanced find a good 10" pressure plate and take it with you. Have the flywheel and pressure plate balanced together. Our flathead V8s are internally balanced, the flywheel can be balanced separately from the crankshaft.

Re: Interesting bore dimensions
There is no reason to NOT balance the engine - so now is the time. On the flywheel/clutch, they should each be neutral balanced and then checked together as an assembly. The balancer will then mark on the flywheel/clutch how to assemble them (paint marks and/or punch marks on both) to replicate the setup/indexing on the balance machine.
I balance every engine I've ever built - going back 50 years or so. Maybe contact Mac VanPelt and see what he has for 10" clutches. |

Re: Interesting bore dimensions
Never balanced many of my engines, for several reasons. Back in the day there were very few places where you could have the assembly balanced, second : took forever and cost a fortune around 200 bucks. built allot of engines includinf Mopar 383/ 440 and a few 392 hemis. Only one of the stockcar engines took 6 months to get the assy back. and most people didn't bothereither. as for the flathead, The cranlassy was well balanced at the factory. Piston weight isn't very important.However I did use a Shafer alum clutck and flywheel flywheel was marked wher the clutch went on.. Bvill engine was balanced.
I don't think the adverage 258/276 street engine built from an existing engine is necessary. And last but not least the factory rebuilt engine are not balanced, Not at the patterson NJ planr!!!!?? Gramps |
