Does anybody out there in the Ford Barn Vapors know what the dimension from the water pump impeller to the end of the shaft should be? is it to be measued to the recessed area where the thrust washer rides or to the edge of the outer rim? We find conflicting info in the different catalogs.
I have an engine that is serial numbered from 1936, and has a model B cam core(fuel pump lobe), Model B oil pump shield and has 4 holes in the flat part of the dipper tray. The holes are 1/2 inch in diameter and neatly punched in the tray. I have never seen these holes in any other pan.
The Ford crankshaft drawing that Marco posted would be a nice thing to have in one's files. Is there any way that you could make it available to us in a size that we could read the dimensions on?:)
I have a question for all of you who have some experience with line boring a freshly poured Model A block. How do you locate the crankshaft in the block? Is there a dimension for the location of one of the thrust faces? I thought it had something to do with the face of the cam bearing boss but...
Thanks for your replies fellows! I'm installing new drums either way. I'm just interested in finding out if the repair sleeve and bearing would be able to run say 20,000 miles without a failure. I don't want to have to do the job twice.
I'm assembling an A rear end. I wondering who out there has any experience with the hub repair sleeve and the small roller bearing. Does this repair work or should one just order the new hubs at considerably more cost. Do you use the same seal with the repair kit or does it use a smaller one?
