Re: 1942 Mercury rebuild vlog
I swapped some smoke for this 8ba crank and rods, 8ba stuff in Newzealand is very hard to come by and very expensive. Not sure if I will use it in this build.
I understand the 8ba crank cam gear has the teeth angled the other direction? |

You can swap the crank gear if needed.

Re: 1942 Mercury rebuild vlog
It’s got the rods you gave me in it, just need to find a gearbox front seal, get the oil lines made and it can go in

Re: 1942 Mercury rebuild vlog
Got it into my car with a fork lift but then getting it out at home was hard, had to Jack the back of the car up and put blocks of wood under the engine hoist, and it took like 2 hours.

Re: 1942 Mercury rebuild vlog
You mentioned installing a full flow oil filter in the video. Any chance that filter starved the front and center mains of oil pressure? If oil pressure gauge sender is before the filter instead of after, you would not get an indication of the problem.

Re: 1942 Mercury rebuild vlog
I used a pressure primer to prime the oiling system, the oil filter fittings and line is 3/8”
It’s got copper lead big end bearings witch is what is showing up in the oil |

Re: 1942 Mercury rebuild vlog
Did it seize totally or just the white smoke?
Had same happen with a new engine build it seized. Turned out to be the plug was fitted for a full flow oil filter, nil oil filter fitted hence it seized. The engine machinists made every thing good. Included 2 new liners, c/shaft polished, new main bearings, new bottom end brgs, new rings. Initial agrement was I front for parts and they would do all machining. When I went to pick it up 2 weeks ago with money in my pocket. To my surprise nil cost to me. They sttod by their work, corrected it and its now in engine stand having been through 3 heat cycles for retorqing. This has restored my faith in people! Hope you can have similar assistance and help from machinist as this is gut wrenching when shit like this happens. Hang in there! Phil NZ |
