Gland rings counter bore Does the block have a counter bore for the gland rings like the exhaust manifold do? My block doesn’t show any sign of any counter bore.

Re: Gland rings counter bore See page 312 of the Service Bulletins. Looks like the counter bore ended in January 1929.

From Bratton's catalog. The 4 rings that seat into the manifold and block to prevent leaks. Ford discontinued using these for a brief time in early 1929. If the manifold or block has been resurfaced, the width of the gland rings will need to be reduced by the same amount. __________________ |
Re: Gland rings counter bore Thanks. I think my block was made mid year in 29.

Re: Gland rings counter bore Steve, Thanks for posting that info... well done and very informative. From one that had a background in automotive engine manufacturing, each one of those seemingly small changes brought back (bad) memories, of piles of paper work "change orders", foundry pattern changes (many - many patterns) and hard tool and fixture changes on the machining line.
