Default Re: First Flathead

OK, now the fun part. This engine came with dloating bearing rod bearings, These are very expensive now. On the plus side, they maybe reusable. However they must be reused with the same rods and crank throw. I've rebuilt many of thes engines sing the original bearings. Keep the caps on the same rods they came off of and in the sane direction. the maines are available in most sizes. Rotating the engine mught be a bad idea now. You can remove the cam gear, as some of the valves are probably stuck.. Lota good help here on the barn.
