T-2335 Ford Cylinder head Wrench

Post by ModelTWoods » Sat Oct 04, 2025 5:49 pm

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Ford supplied TWO different wrenches that fit cylinder head bolts, one that had an open end on one end and a closed box end on the other end. Then there was another wrench that had a closed socket type end on one end and an open end on the other end. Which type is T-2335 ?

They are both T2335, the one with the socket end for head bolts is 1913/1914 till about 1920 and the box end is till the end of production.

The same wrench is used for loosening demountable rim nuts.

Maybe the revision to box-end may have something to do with the above?

PS: Has anyone ever seen a nickel-plated T-2335 wrench? I go to a lot of estate sales in the Twin Cities and saw one but passed on it because the open-end was spread out. I can't remember if the other end was socket or box-end.

And that same wrench is useful in adjusting an NH straight thru. Might even work on an NH humpback too. When I’m ready for a drive, I turn on the gas. Hand crank/choke it 2-3 times, grab my trusty T 2335 out of the toolbox to tap the carb 4-5 times until the stuck needle loosens up. ;o)

There is a different wrench for the TT. It has an additional "box?" hole inboard of the large open end. It probably has a different part number. Nickel plating is not uncommon on some of the aftermarket tools. i have never seen it on factory Ford tools.

I have several Ford 3Z & 5Z shop tools that are nickel plated.
