self adjusting rod nuts
No need to worry about shims, worn crank, bad fit, with these miracle rod nuts they will adjust your clearance automatically.
I remember reading in an ad many years ago, I just found these in one of my junk boxes, how long do you think they would work? |

Re: self adjusting rod nuts
I had a '24 that had these and they worked just fine. I pulled a cap off one day and the journal and the babbit was just perfect with no scoring at all. I would use them again if I could find a new set.

Re: self adjusting rod nuts
Are these just a set of spring tensioners that snugged down on the rod caps?

Re: self adjusting rod nuts
Once upon a time my Dad told me that some of the ol Jimmy diesel engines with blowers that got so so many hours a low cost fix was to switch the bearings from top to bottom on the rods to gain a few more hours before a major. Monte
