    Pressure Sealing A Block

    Saw this on H&H Facebook page. It's news to me. Maybe others have heard of it. "H&H Flatheads: its a cast iron resin heated up to 180 degrees and pumped through the block under pressure."

    Bruce lancaster

    From the HAMB. "I got word from Bruce’s son that Bruce has suffered a stroke and is in ICU". Many of you will remember Bruce's contributions over the years. Haven't seen much from him lately. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/bruce-lancaster.1170248/

    Starter Won't Shut Off

    My AV8 with '51 Merc in it. Been sitting for a couple weeks so I went to start and run it for a while. After the 2nd try to get it started, I let go of the key and it kept turning the engine over. Turned the switch off and still turning (not running). Had to pull a battery cable. Touched the...

    A friend of mine called them looking for clutch/brake shaft bushings and found out that they were no longer being made. Joblot was the maker. They are selling out of everything and going out of business, due to death of one owner and another wants out. I guess they supplied others with parts...

    Not Holding Vacuum On Vacuum Brake

    Decided to test my crab distr vacuum brake. Hooked a hand vacuum pump up to the front cover fitting, pumped away and got no reading on the gauge. Removed distr and greased up the gasket and rubber seal. Tried it again and could pump up the vacuum but would drop off immediately. Took out the VB...

    Flywheel Questions

    I just got my flywheel/pressure plate assembly, for my '51 Merc engine, balanced. On re-assembly had a hard time getting the flywheel to seat on the crank. First question is should it go on by hand or are the pins tight fitting? A rubber mallet wouldn't work. I tried for over an hour. Went on...

    Changing Crab Distributor Points

    I'm doing this for the first time and do I have to remove the plate with the points on or bend a screwdriver to get those two screws holding the springs on? There is a retaining ring that looks like it can be pried out and then remove the timing screw. Anything else? Thanks.

    Another Rear Axle Question

    Has anyone ever used these tapered axle shims? Is it common for the hubs to bottom out on the axle housing before the tapers seats? I'm trying to lap the hubs and axles on a '40 and can't get a total lap between them. Sounds like rubbing between hub and housing. Thanks...

    New Rear Hub Question

    Bought new rear hubs about 4 yrs ago. Just getting to the point where I'll be installing them on my 6 yr old project. I noticed there are no grooves for the retaining rings (c type clip) in either hub. Maybe they decided the clips aren't needed. Any thoughts?
