Flathead project

[Notadufus]

Being nosey, here...Did you pull the plugs out of the crank, to clean out the sludge, then replace with new plugs? (Few modern machinists know to do that, these days) I recently built a '49 239 and the crank was completely stopped up with asphalt-like crud. I got new plugs from VanPelt. With good oil and semi-full flow filter, the engine should out-last me!

You're doing beautiful work and that sucker should run like the wind! Can't wait to see the end results!
