Flathead Resurrection Take 2

[fredeuce]

Well after the start up of the flathead about a month ago I discovered that the LH head had cracked on installation. An old repair had failed. That head was discarded and a replacement prepared and fitted . Today was the first fire up with the new head.
All good . No more water leaks and with some extra advance in the timing the motor runs well.

Nice job. Is it a full rebuild, or just a start on an older motor? If fresh bores etc. don't be tempted to run it too long on the stand.

Its a fresh build . It has a .040" over re-bore, crank grind and new valves , guides and springs.

Now ready to install.
