Re: Rebuilding an Ardun OHV 1954 - 1956

As for the rebuilder, he's a very well-known rebuilder, is very knowledgeable and in general seems like a decent guy. He has a shop guy that does the rebuilds in another location and I'm guessing there is a communication problem between the main office and the shop. For another example, the shop owner said that he would send back my case primed but it was sent back sand blasted cast iron. I don't really care about that since I'm going to paint the trans the same as the engine but it's another example of a lack of communication between the shop and main office. Thanks so much for the tip on the truck transmission case. I'll be on the lookout! |

I'm really just annoyed that I went out of my way to find the 39 trans that I sent them, paid too much for it, and drove 600 miles to pick it up. Then they rebuilt someone else's trans so I don't know if all the parts in my core transmission were bad or not and now I have someone else's trans... I don't mean to whine but it's annoying more than anything. |

I've seen a few Pounden mag bases but not with the magneto. I understand he used airplane mags so seems possible to reconstruct but I haven't found a whole assembly of base + mag so a little reluctant to go down that path. The angle drive I found has a bronze adaptor plate that should allow me to change the orientation of the magneto. It's another leak point though so that will be some messing around. |

Here's the basic look I'm going for.
This engine came out of an Allard J2 race car. |
