My rebuilt engine is leaking coolant through some of the head bolts.. Yes even after I re-torqued to 55lbs! I want to pull the head and try a new gasket.. where can I find one for a 226 SIX "G" model?.. C&G only shows a head gasket for an "H" model engine. I think some coolant got into my...

That would be a great combo for my 47 flathead SIX.. I would love to have a T-5 with parallel leaf springs in the rear! :D

I will never agree to go full metric! However, that being said, I can still land a 40 mike mike grenade into a 50 gallon oil drum at 400 meters on the first shot.. using a tried & true M-79 grenade launcher.. those under barrel M-16/M-203 just have too much wiggle play to be so accurate! :eek:

Was that hard to do?

Second one looks like a 46-47

What's with all the stickers? Almost as bad as NASCAR... :(

My friend doesn't listen to me enough.. he bought the coil on ebay.. I told him to send his old coil to Skip Haney.. he just gives me a blank stare. My friend has many cars & motorcycles. But this is his only flathead ford. He doesn't have the passion for the engine, so his knowledge is...

Ok.. so my flathead SIX, (12 volt) is dialed in and starts every time. My friend's stock 47 V8 (6 volt) starter always turns over but doesn't want to start. We can push/pull/bump start it and it runs fine. The coil was replaced recently as well as the condenser. Sometimes it will start after...

YEAH... Boy was I mad at Audi when I bought my wife's car a few years ago (gone now, traded for 2018 Charger)... No dipstick.. I said to the Audi dealer repair.. "Yeah there is a dip-stick... Me for buying your piece of crap car!"

Bumppinn this thread! :d

The "H" model SIX was started in Mid to Late 1947 to 1952... I have one from a 1948 F-4 Truck including fan.. I would be happy to sell it to you.. it needs a complete rebuild from Skip Haney.. I also have a complete H motor for sale.. I was going to put it in my 47 sedan, but decided to...

SEE Number Post ABOVE.. I am parting out this engine. It is in really good shape, after I have cleaned off the layer of grease & mud! I will post photos of parts already removed from the engine... I have everything BUT the starter.. I cannibalized that for my G model engine rebuild.. I...

H & H quoted me $5k for my flathead SIX.. I took it to Adams Metallizing and Grinding in Lancaster, CA.. He is almost done and it cost me under $4k... The only reason it cost that much was my ring gear was shot.. I had to order a custom ring gear & rebuild the starter to match! WALT

I am almost finished rebuilding my 1947, Ford flathead SIX G model engine. My crankshaft pulley is cracked through and unrepairable.. I am looking for a good pulley with the harmonic balancer attached! The type I need is for the car, not the truck type which is different (different offset...

ANSWER to #3..get a piece of molded rubber in the shape of a long oval.. 3"by 5".. the distance of the stroke from brake on to brake off.. maybe make a slotted channel so it looks right couple of long screws.. just suggestion..

Spare gas can... just in case your gas gauge is B/O (bad order)! :eek:

That's why we teach our sons "attention to detail" :D

That is exactly what I did with my 47 I wanted to attach the pin with wire.. in the meantime I leave it in a magnetic tray I keep on the toolbox.. so it is always handy.. :D
