Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Hello all,


Some progress in the drawing, left side block, the lines of the back is not done yet. Now they are aligned.

All the best,
Jorge

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

I need some help, which side have the bigger angle in the valves?

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Are you looking for the angles? 52.09 on the left and 49.36 on the right.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Thank you :).

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Hello all,

Now with a few more things, the funny part will begin, extrude all the lines.
The valves sets is done with the correct angle. I will need to resize some parts not serious.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Does anyone has a piston for a bore 3.1875 that can take a measurement?
-Height,
-From the bottom to the middle of the piston pin,
-The pin diameter.

Thank you so much.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

See if any of this helps. This piston is from a 1948 59a engine, it is domed top, 3.188 +.040 (original 3.188 bored std .040 over).

From top edge of piston to bottom of longest part of skirt: 2.960
From top edge of piston to bottom of shortest part of skirt: 2.700 (not including notch)
Width of longest part of skirt: ~1.250
Width of shortest part of skirt: ~1.250
It is curved between these sections.
From top edge of piston to top of dome: ~.250

Starting a top edge of piston working down to shortest part of skirt (not including notch).
Top edge to top piston ring: .250
Top piston ring grove: .096
Top piston ring to second piston ring: .156
Second piston ring grove: .096
Second piston ring to third piston ring: .100
Third piston ring grove: .188
Third piston ring to top of piston pin: .268
Piston pin: .750
Bottom of piston pin to bottom piston ring: .170
Bottom piston ring grove: .183
Bottom piston ring to bottom of skirt: .440 (not including notch)

From Top edge of piston to center of piston pin: ~1.530
From center of piston pin to bottom of skirt: ~1.170
Piston Pin diameter: .750

These are measurements straight from a piston using calipers and include measuring errors I am sure!

For some reason the photos didn't load the first time.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Thank you so much JSeery.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Earlier I do this type of piston, can be used in this engine model?

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

There are 3 ring and 4 ring pistons. I believe the original design from Ford was the 4 ring and the 3 ring was a more modern replacement. Not sure it would make any difference for what you are doing, a lot of the current rebuilds use the 3 ring style.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Thanks.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Hello all,

Some of the lines after extruder.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Some progress in the design.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Hello all,

Exhaust channels done, and e few holes. Start the front end of the block.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Hello all,

The 59 AB block have the yellow line that I made?
The block 8 BA have this fill.

Thank you so much.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Hello all,

I 'm working in the front end of the block, I will need some help, someone have any photos where I can see the front end of the block 59 AB without the water pumps and the distributor cover? I already made a google search but not find anything.

Thank you so much for the help.

All the best,
Jorge

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

I can add some in about an hour.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Thank you so much JSeery

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

I'm easily distracted! But here are 4 shots of 59a block. This is a 48 block (as far as I know) out of a Truck.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Thank you so much for the photos JSeery, have the same lines and holes, that I have been drawing.

If is possible yet, can you take a close-up of the areas that I marked?

Thank you very much.

All the best,
Jorge

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

See if this is what you are looking for. PM me your email address and I will email back the original higher res photos (around 4Mb)

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Thank you JSeery.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

In progress :)

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Hello all,

This part gave some work, now do the rest of the holes.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

You are showing 8ba timing components they are different from 59a.

R

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

What are the components that are not correct?

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

The timing gears

R

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

59a and 8ba cams rotate in opposite directions, so the teeth on the gears would be in the opposite direction. The crank gear and the cam gear are matched sets.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Simply not true! 59A and 8BA cams turn the same direction. Only the cut of the gears differ.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

So it is only the diretion of the teeth gears correct, I need flip over the both gears teeth?

Thank you so much by the notice.

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Thank you so much Ronnie by the notice and the photos too.
As I don't know of any existing engine near me not always it is clear, my support it is photos that I found in my searches or some help from the members of the forum.

Now i believe that is correct, the left that i have, the right it is the new one.
The engine that I have been designed it is the 59AB.

Thank you all for the help :)

All the best,
Jorge

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Sorry about that, not totally awake on that one!!!!! The thrust of the cam is reversed, not the cam rotation. The 59a thrust the cam toward the engine and the 8ba thrust the cam toward to cover because of the cut of the gears. Some days are better than other!

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Yep, asleep at the wheel on that one!!

Re: Oil pan 59AB photos
 

Great work that model is really neat! Would you share a .step file of the 59AB intake manifold?
I would love to 3D print one for my desk!
