help with v8-60 Working on 1937 ford v-8-60 need help with floating rod bearings. Placed bearings in rods, seams to be ok. but when torque down they will not rotate inside the rod crank is .020 under
|
Re: help with v8-60 What size is the inside of the rod (originally 1.7995-1.800)
What size is the crank --for .020 the book says-1.578-1.579(52 type that should be in a37) what size are the bearings---Ford made bearings that are oversized on theoutside---both .004, .008-----if you are using NOS bearings what are the letters stamped in the oil groove |
Re: help with v8-60 The bearings have to have the proper "spread". Don't know what it would be for a 60 but I've done 85s with full floaters. Need to use a mallet to tap the bearing shell either on the end or in the middle to get the right dimension.

Re: help with v8-60 You are very lucky to be in the same town with Vern Tardel if you run into issues with engines.

Re: help with v8-60 I am lucky to live in Santa Rosa, meet Vern about 20 years ago. When I saw his shop it was like stepping back in time crazy place every thing you would need for your old Ford.
