  1. THANKS ALOT FOR PHOTO'S OF TOOLS USED, THIS WILL MAKE THE JOB EASY
  2. Is there a tool that is made for a 230 Flathead 6 , That removes the intake and exhaust valves. I have seen tools made for V8 engines but any for a flathead 6
  3. thanks you so much, the photo's help greatly, I got the inspection dirt/dust cover off De-greased it and cleared years of sand dirt from it. the inside is clean and teeth on flywheel are in great shape except for two missing teeth. I have a tool blue point GA-44 Flywheel turning tool
  4. thanks for the photo's, I did not pull the engine out, it is still attached, but want to get this cover off, so I can see inside, last owner of the car must have lived in the country, I mean a dirt road. Engine and trans are covered with years of dirt,sand,alot of the parts clutch peddle,brake peddle,linkage for shifter was froze until I soaked it in 3 & One Oil.Like I stated before, I want to try and save the old D24 Engine and not throw it away. My next step if I can't break engine loose is to pull it and do the complete rebuilt. either way it will be a fun project.
  5. nice car, sad to see it in the state it was in after hitting the light pole.
  6. I am still working on unfreezing the engine after sitting sense 1967, I soaked the engine with Marvels & 3 & one oil, Valves are free, Pistons 2,3,4,5 oil passes pistons and ring inside cylinder wall, But #1, 6 penetrating oil still not going down around iron rings, I want to take off the dust/dirt cover under fluid drive, want to inspect it for anymore damage to flywheel, I only seen 2 teeth missing, maybe from same person who took parts off car years ago. I guess a pry bar, too see if crank would turn. it's froze, so (starter,Radiator,fan pulley, water pump,fan was missing along with Sisson Automatic choke). I now have all parts I found at local junk yard here.
  7. why would I be in trouble? Parts easy to get here local junk yard
  8. my bell housing cover is made of stamped sheet metal not cast iron.
  9. I agree it is on the fluid coupling. but want to inspect it as a few teeth are missing
  10. thanks for the engine transmission photo, There are 4 bolt at the rear of the housing, that need too come off then cover should come off?
  11. How to remove the Dodge 230 Flathead 6 Fluid drive dust/dirt cover, I removed 8 bolts that I found two 7/16 and six 1/2 inch bolts but it will not come off, do I need to pull the engine , I want to inspect the flywheel, have a tool used for turning it, engine sat for awhile and need to spin the crankshaft. The engine and trans are still in the car.
  12. Today, I had some luck I got the Intake & Exhaust valves free from Rust, Now I am re-soaking the Pistons using 3 in One Oil, I have been using a Rubber Hammer and a and tapping the top of block and side walls to get the oil down past the iron rings inside. Here is a photo of the block with the head taken off, notice the exhaust valves open, when I poured oil into head it came out threw valves
  13. I have the time and no rush, I am soaking each cylinder with Oil and already cleaned up the Head, Light rust and carbon buildup but nothing bad no pitting. I have cleaned all of the bolt holes and water inlets of any rust or buildup from years of running and sitting sense 1967. The head looks great for it's age the cylinder walls look good from what I can see, except for light rust/carbon buildup. Yes, I agree the iron oil rings and pistons need to be free the I need to take off the valve cover and soak it as well, I am taking my time and will make photo's of how the rebuild goes and what I find along the way. Anybody know of any business who has the rebuild kits for a Dodge D24 flathead 6
  14. Yeah, I just pulled the head off and yes there was Rust, Dirt, sludge, and 3 Exhaust valves open, so right now the whole thing is soaking in Oil& Marvel Oil treatment. I tried to turn it but no use, Oh well I guess I will pull the engine and rebuild it. At least the oil pan was full of oil when I got the engine, but I guess sitting for a long time and age has taken a toll on the engine, But I am up for the challenge to bring the old D24 engine alive again.
  15. yeah, this is what is going on now, 3 cylinders hold fluid, other 3 oil/marvel runs out threw exhaust manifold onto ground, I will have to pull engine from the Car and take the next step, I tried to turn the crank with a large monkey wrench and it wouldn't move at all. should I pull the head off and get the oil directly into the pistons and valves. sense it is pouring out threw exhaust manifold,
