Re: The cylinder head replacement story begins… A method I have found useful, after heating the stud red, I turn the engine upside down. It helps to get the heat into the threaded part of the stud in the block, the heat wants to make its way up. Naturally not easy if the engine is in the car...

The site is now up and running! Thanks Vince Falter for letting us have access to all that information! /Jorgen

Thank you!

Having trouble with Vince Falter's "Fordgarage.com" site. Can't read anything on the page! When I click on a link, it gets an error info! Has worked for me for many years, but haven't visited the site in the last year. It is an incredible source of information. Hope someone knows something about...

Be sure, you have contact between conversion plates spring pin to the contact place on breaker points. Spring pin may be bent, has happened to me! /Jorgen

Another question for Herm, if apologies in this thread! If I understand it correctly, one of the reasons the peening babbits is to allow the babbitt to have full contact with the engine block. Is also the reason to compress the babbit to achieve a higher density. If so, how deep does peening...

Always interesting answers and comments from you. I saved some scrap, to refresh my memory I looked over it again. It turns out that it was not sleeves in all 14. So I do not know the number or location of them. The sleeves thickness is around 0.040 "and the OD around 9/16". If they used a core...

Thanks The picture was taken before the battle.

They seem to be cast in from the factory maybe I'm wrong! Se reply from "Kurt in NJ" The block looks good, the removal of the stud bolts I think I handle. Thanks for the reply.

I think there are different degrees say 1-10 of how hard a cylinder head is stuck. In this case, I think I reached # 10. Model B marine converted engine. Penetrating oil and head puller in full tension for 2 months! Nothing happened, so ....... Never realized that steel sleeves are embedded in...

More pics!!!

Thank you for the picture! What is the story of this one? Jorgen

Water pump for fire extinguisher. Well, I need to see it in person so I can answer your questions better and with more pictures. Thanks, Jorgen

The owner is a friend so I only have the picture. What I can see in the picture is not cast together with the block, so not part of the block. If you zoom the image, it appears that the "pad" is attached with 4 screws. The cylinder head is from a B engine. Jorgen
