Re: Sympathy pains for Old Henry

I did find this condition strange. The big end of the rod to crank clearances were the same for all cylinders. Just that one rod rocked about 1/4". The wrist pin bushing obviously failed. That allowed the piston to slap in line with the wrist pin. This piston did not collapse. All 6 were re-sized and are back in the engine. This engine ran fairly well until the knock showed up. It did need a valve job. I put about 50 miles on it today to start breaking it in. It runs a ton better than on the Maine tour or the two Florida bashes that it has been to. I did dial in too much timing advance. That caused a hot start problem and I have an exhaust leak to address. Otherwise all is good.

Re: Sympathy pains for Old Henry
Looks great Chuck, even though I'm a v8 guy, I think you have something special with that six. My dad had a 54 two door with a six. He always said the six goes fast enough- don't need a v8!! Keep up the good work maybe we'll see you in Florida, Chuck S.

Re: Sympathy pains for Old Henry
My dad had a '54 six cyl Ford when I was in my teens. One day I was going down a hill pretty fast when I heard a loud bang from the engine, i kicked in the clutch and drifted a bit, then I let the clutch out and heard another bang. Towed it home and pulled the engine and found the crank broke in two places.

Re: Sympathy pains for Old Henry
For 41Ford1 - I am no where in your league as far as working on engines. But a million years ago I had a Chevy 6 that developed a knock that sounded for all the world like a rod or main bearing. After replacing them all it turned out to be a broken tooth on the timing gear.
