Re: 26 Tmotor
Quick update and another question on my 26 T motor, i purchased a new cam and bearings, and that has corrected the lack of any backlash between timing gears and has allowed for a decent fit of the timing cover.
I used the tool to align the cover properly with the cam. but it's still slightly off center with the crank, (favoring one side by.010). i'm thinking this will be ok and that the felt crank seal will center itself. please let me know your thoughts on this.
I decided to pull the rest of the shortbock apart for inspection and found the center main bearing oil passage packed full of babbit scrapings, after cleaning that out i decided to check bearing clearances, and found .003 on the rods and .002 on the front main and .003 on the center and rear main. not sure but that seems a little on the big side for a fresh engine, but i'm new to model T's so i'm looking for advice on this.
Also after pulling the valves i discovered a small crack through one of the valve seats, will this be ok to leave alone or should i have the seat replaced?
Thanks again
Scott
