I recently started working on the engine of my model s. The main bearings have to much play. In the manual i did see the babbitt bearing is a loose bearings is that the case? Can i just press a another bearing in de block?

Thanks a lot for the pictures, this helps a lot. Does someone has the small gear in the oiler for sale? Or eventually a complete mc cord oiler

Hi jeff,

Thanks for the reply I think we have more or less the same car, serial number are also close together. You are always welcome. I send you an email.

First question from my side at this moment.of someone could measure the diameter of the pulleys of the oiler and the one at the engine side
