KINGSWAY52

Hi all! I get the same as Uncle Pekka on my 52 Kingsway with campingtrailer beheind(1100 kg) and about 13,8 liters pr 100 km on normally driving.

Thanks guys now I know what to tell him,I know of another set also but he is asking 6000 nkr for it so I he axsept what I'm going to offer him 2000 nkr I'll get one more flattie. Roar

Hi Ho! I know the seller ,and he is trustwort.He bout the car about 4 months ago himself and knows wery little about the engine himself,his has done almost all the rust on it but he is thinking going not original so he has talkt about selling engine and trans,he is asking 5000 for the car as is,not lisensplat on it.I've not seen the car myself but are lending the termstathousing with him since mine has got a little crack in it.(Anyone have a spare one for sale?) He don't know what to ask for engine and trans so that's why U'm asking you fellows what is normal price over there? Roar

Hey guys! I've come over an Engine with transmission and wonder what will be a fair price for it,don't know the kondition on either enine or trans,it's from a 48 Dodge.I think the trans is a fluidrive . Roar

Hey! I think it's going toosit on the transmission on the left side.........Roar

Well then I've change the head,and now there is another problem.Engine run's smoother ,cooler,but a little high at idle 900 rpm timing shows 4 - 8 degree BTDC,so hurray problem solved as it look's now.Have not shecked the other head but it seem's to be there the trouble has been,maybe it didn't fit the engine,do to the bypass ting or maybe it has been take'n down to much I don't now................Roar:D

Well Fred as for the rad hose that one is fine,(pipe with bend inside).The engine get hot upphill and cools down at downhilll or flat land but sometimes it just don't goes down.As for the timing I know it sound's strange,but it's 3 after at ideling and when I rew the engine (2200 rpm)it's about 4 before TDC so I don't think that's the problem,I'm going the way and put back the head that was on the engine when I got it later today.I'll let you guy's know later.......Roar...

Well here's the list over what's been done so far:New rad,new waterpump coler sparkplugs,I've a minihei and a weber from Landon installed,I've flush the block water distribution tube cheked and okay have also changed the frostplugs..........Roar ps timing is set to 3 degrees after TDC,engine still have some knocking under heavy load.Was driving 4 km today without termostat and temp goes up to 105 c but did'nt loose colant....

Well I can sometime's drive all day long and no overheating,and other day's just driving about 3 km and engine goes to 105 +degree celsius,last tripp on saturday it boild over,I've chekd with termometer when ideling for five to ten min and showing 85 celsius...............Roar. ps The problem started in 2006 but that do to a clogd radiator,I did change the head then touth it was the headgasket then but...Engine from a 47 dodge (big thermostathous)(eksternal bypass?) The head I've been using from a 49 plymouth don't remember term house think it was missing or te small one.....Roar

Hey all ! I'm haveing some problem with overheating with my engine.I've done the following thing's to try get rid off it.Flushed the block,new rad (from Rockwood) new watherpump adjusted timing and carburator.I know the head has been taken down twise don't now how mutch.Wandering if the komp can be to high and that causing the heat?Anyone with any suggestion's what to do? The temp where I live is between 16 to 23 degrees celsius.I'm thinking of changing the head since that what's left to do.................Roar

Hi! I've the the same sound on my engie also.I change the sparkplugs to a colder range and retarded the timing and most of the sound gone away,there is still a little knock when driving uphill with campingtrailer behind but on flat road or downhill nothing,the engine is running in the upper heatrange (95 to 105 degree celsius).I m also runnig mini hei from langdon and a crter weber carburator from him.at first it was not easy to set the timing correct but it helpt with cooler plugs.

Sorry to hear Fred Roar

Was trying,but you came first.(thank's)

Happy New Year To All Of You From Norway! It Was A Rater Long Season In 2007

HI Fred! I tink you probebly have fund the problem self,During my summer tripp I've the same problem but whit me there was overhiting as well. since you wrote this in the question I think this is the problem (There was a heater hose against the fuel line that supplies the carb) You can also try to move the coil away from the engie..... Roar. Ps what date did you send the tierods? they havent come yet. It's -4,5 c outside here now at 21:20 and there have come some of the wite stuff too :-)
