Rich ,
are you running splash with insert rods? Besides this issue, how are they working out ?

John

John bevardos

I have used steel and sprayed copper coat ---has been working great for years .

John bevardos

Hi Scott,
I have used them in the past --back in the 90s , and were very pleased with them . I believe Mclearan mfg were making them. Top notch!

My 24 roadster diff blew apart after the babbit thrust washers broke--no brakes is pretty scary . I rebuilt with brass thrust washers and added a/c brakes. john

John bevardos

excellent Scott !

John bevardos

I have used the duplicolor paint shop system with the preval sprayer with good results. You can get it at most auto parts stores and comes premixed.

John

John bevardos

Roger ,
did you just bolt it on or did you do any other mods?

John bevardos

thanks
John

John bevardos

Ok Rod ,

Good evening gents, I have a Winfield BB S updraft carburetor. But it turns out the float chamber is for a downdraft, are there any issues with the way the carburetor would run as is? Thanks again, John

John bevardos

Hi guys , my basic math has left me ----- I have a crank that was ground .005 undersize and my connecting rod choices are either std or .010. Should I use the std size rods and take shims away or should I scrape the .010 down? Btw--its to replace existing rods in the engine already . Thank you John

John bevardos

John bevardos

John bevardos

OK Model T brothers and sisters, with a good advice from Hank in Tennessee, I checked the wrist pin bolts for my knock, and they were all tight. I started probing further and I noticed some Babbitt coming off the thrust surfaces of the connecting rods. So it turns out I have 3 connecting rods where,...

John bevardos

looks excellent! Where did you get the crank and pointer from?

John

John bevardos

Thank you Hank, will definitely give that a try. John

John bevardos

Hi Hank, was kind of thinking the same thing because the rod was nice and tight on the journal so I left it alone. Thank you, John

John bevardos

Hi all, can't find my manual so I'm going to ask the professors here. Motor has a knock when it is just coasting not accelerating and not D accelerating. Number one rod was a tad loose could move it by hand so I remove to shims it's nice. Still had the knock as I drove it, shorted out all cylinders ...

Hi Craig,

who is doing the Babbitt work?

john

John bevardos

Hi John,
I believe that Gene French sells re-babbited bearings. Might try to reach out to him.

John
