I've spent hours searching for cylinder bore spacing and find nothing. I know the spacing for the Flathead v8, but not the Lincoln Zeyphr and the V8 60. I'm needing these dimensions to make my computer models of these engines. I know Ford used fractional dimensions for bore spacing so simple...

I'm far from home and in need of a couple split valve guides, mushroom valves and springs. Used, but serviceable is fine. Want to pick up local in Bloomsburg, PA area or Chester, NJ area. Flat32

Photobucket has crashed it seems. Can't access my pics. Urgently need an alternative. Flat32:mad::mad::mad::confused::eek::mad:

Last reference to my project was in this thread: http://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=194065. Not wanting to hijack I decided to create my own threads and see how it goes. Starting with a pic. "][/URL] Flat32:cool:

I'm building a mold, head, and have need for a Ford script logo to put in the mold. I can make it from a clay impression of an existing logo if I can find an example. Logo must be raised and 1/4 to 3/8 inch long. I assume there are many OEM parts with the logo. Doesn't matter what year...

I have a question for you guys. How many of you are into car models to the degree you have a model of your Ford? My reason for asking is to find folks that might be interested in a project I've been working on that is a true to blueprint model of my Flathead engine. My bare block is being 3D...

Sorry, had to do this because of the A. http://www.youtube.com/embed/OOgd9hitEAE?rel=0 Ray:D

My tank had ugly blistered paint around the filler neck and has a deformed.dented cowl surface in the area around it extending up to six inches away. I decided to take out the filler screen to try working out the dents and noticed the filler part the cap screws onto was loose. It can't come...

About to start up my newly rebuilt engine and want to break it in with driving loads on it except it's raining and another day predicted. Sort of does that in the Seattle area. I'm looking for a rain hat for the roadster top. Does anyone make such a thing?? I really don't know how water...

Got only one Model A and no reference parts. I don't know if my pitman arm is stock length or the aftermarket short version. Sources say 1 1/2" shorter, but nobody says what the actual length is for the original or the short one. Search of prior posts discuss benefits, but no length...

Got my B engine mostly assembled and in the car. Rebuild included replacing a cracked head which had F3 and Made in USA cast into it. I assume aftermarket, but it doesn't matter. What does matter is the new head which is a "C" and looks the same with the three bolt pump mount. Headache comes...

Concerned with how deep the rods dip into the oil that will be in my dipper tray so I measured. Turns out the rod dippers extend 3 13/16" below the pan rail and the dipper tray is 3 9/16" down from the pan flange without gasket. If I allow 1/16" for the gasket the dippers only dip 3/16". Is...

Assembling my B engine timing cover has led to a couple snags. First the front pulley and rope seal. Front pulley appears to be a either a repro or a NOS judging by having no seal wear. Seal surface dial indicator runout is .010" with slinger in place and crank nut tightened. Inside diameter...

Just curious while contemplating installing an oxygen sensor bung for possible future use. Do any of you guys have an air/fuel gauge installed and if so did you find it useful? I know I'd need an accessory 12 volt battery to run the Innovate LM-1 and five wire wideband I have kicking around...

Please excuse my ignorance here where my only excuse is being new to Model A/B engines. Mine is a B and when one of the rod babbits gave out I did a little research and rashly determined all I needed to do was buy a set of inserted rods and then not have to worry about babbit failure. Spent...

I'm assembling my engine with new pistons and Hastings rings. Ring installation instructions are sort of generic and leave me with a question. Their website doesn't positively answer it. One ring has a bevel on the inside edge with a dimple on the opposite side. The other ring is a simple...

Hi, I'm new to posting here, but have been lurking and studying since being aquired by a 1931 Model A roadster with a B engine. Half of one rod babbit destructed 110 miles into the 750 mile trip needed to get to my home from Pocatello, Idaho where I found it. My driver is a 1932 3 window coupe...
