Alan, is your 41 truck a 1 ton, or? I talked to "ralph" at Joblot and he told me the rod ends for a 41 Ford 1 ton have a 3/4 inch shank. Back to the drawing board.

I have a vintage race car with (a V-8 "60" engine, and) braided drum brake linings. I want to clean any oil/grease out of them. My vintage race buddy says they should be "soaked" to get the oil out. Would white vinegar be a suitable cleaner, assuming the shoes are not aluminum? Thanks! OlRacer66

I've used composite gaskets on my V8-60 racer for 18 years w/ no problems. Install dry, retorque after 1 heat cycle and recheck after 2nd heat cycle. Good luck

My rail V8-60 & I were developed in the same year - 1940...& it was pass magnaflux tests better than I!!! btw 2011, take away 1940--my 2nd grade math tells me I'm 71. OlRacer

I'm surprised that a "60" is bored .210 over! Wow... The sleeves require about a .083 bore, give or take. There are some good guys in the flathead world that have 60 pistons still in "semi" finish, but I wouldn't think the "semis" would be .210 over. Good luck

Hi Guys, My machine shop called me (knowing I do V8-60 stuff) asking if I had any info on the Simca / Vedette "60". I don't. They want to know where in the world to get the rod bearings for that engine. I was told the rod bearings appear to be 1.753 insert bearings. Can anyone help with...

Use composite with aluminum heads. Apply dry. Good luck...
