Re: ‘52 Flathead crankshaft end play

Hi Folks,

As of late last night, I finally have the old '52 back in business, but it looks like I may have traded one problem for another. Transmission is back in with new 10" clutch and pressure...

Re: ‘52 Flathead crankshaft end play

Thanks for all the replies folks. Turns out the ring gear was cracked, so that explains why it was coming off. Cracked from a previous installation or just because it’s 70 years old? I don’t know....

Re: ‘52 Flathead crankshaft end play

Yes that is the issue with this installation. The home made adapter plate is barely 1/4” thick, so the input shaft is too far forward. I’m working on putting it back together for now to get the rest...

Re: ‘52 Flathead crankshaft end play

The adapter "kit" is just a homemade plate as far as I can tell.

There are two sets of holes in the flywheel, I assume the slightly smaller diameter set are for a 10" pressure plate? I assume this...

Re: ‘52 Flathead crankshaft end play

Re: ‘52 Flathead crankshaft end play

I just got home so I'll pull the flywheel in a little while. Have a couple chores to do first.

I see that I can't upload pictures on here. Are there any sites that will host pictures these days...

Re: ‘52 Flathead crankshaft end play

Oh the starter ring gear is removable? That hadn’t occurred to me and the flywheel is still on the engine. I’ll pull it tonight and have a look. That actually makes more sense based on the sound I...
