What you are pointing to is babbit. On the bottom of the crank is RTV.
All the dippers are facing the same way which is scooping towards the oil pump.
I did replace the oil pump with a good one. (Not Cracked)
Also I shorted between cylinders and no change. The engine drew down but the...
I can't reach out to the engine builder because I don't know who he is. I have found previous owners on Facebook through my wife's account (I don't have one) and messaged them with no response.

I bought this 1931 and brought it back to La Vergne, Tennessee from Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It had blown exhaust manifold gaskets when I got it. I replaced with copper gaskets and no further issues there. However there is a knock. The person I got the truck from never mentioned any engine...
Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, Tennessee where I volunteer has this 1933 Dymaxion replica. Yesterday they had the access cover off so I was able to check out the Ford flathead V8. I thought you all would appreciate it. So here it is.

It was hitting but now it's not. I had to run a shorter belt on the fan. The original top tank did not have any over hang but the new Champion radiator from Jegs does. Also I replaced the thermostats with 180s. I drove the car around town and when I got home I left it running in the driveway...
Inside the heads don't look terrible. I got the old radiator out today and installed the new radiator. Fan hits it. It sits too low.

I appreciate the response from everyone. When I got off work tonight I drained the radiator and pulled the thermostats. Radiator appears to be clogged in serval cores and both thermostats were 195s. I believe we may be on to something now.

I used the deluxe version from Snyder's and have no complaints. I don't think safety should be judged at how little of it you can get away with.

I drove the car into work this morning to give one more go and test with a IR gun. I got to work which is a 9 mile drive and she was riding on the tic mark to the right of the wide white bar.

Tubman I do not know what thermostats is in the car. I work weekends but plan to open it up Monday and find out. I'm a bit nervous to drive the car as is. I'd sure hate to cook that motor. Also my local radiator shops have closed but do have some within reasonable driving distance. But with the...
