austinsailor Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 I'm puzzled how the lifters and valves get oiled. The galleys go to the mains and the cam bearings, but I don't see what path it has to get to the lifters and valves them selves. There are the 3 little dam that hold oil that goes to the lifters, but don't see how it get's there. I assume it's splatter that gets it up on the valve stems once it is in the valve area. Quote
Don Coatney Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Squirt hole in the piston rods. Quote
1937 Dodge Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Excellent visuals, Don. Those photos are worth a thousand words. Quote
greg g Posted February 16, 2011 Report Posted February 16, 2011 Reason why its critical to make sure the rods go back on correctly during the reassembly process. good idea to mark the cylinder number and a front of the engine reference on the rods and caps as they are removes. Quote
Don Coatney Posted February 17, 2011 Report Posted February 17, 2011 Greg; Can you post a direct link to the picture as what shows on my screen is a note saying visit Allpar to see the picture. Quote
james curl Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 You will find that on the 218/230 engines the rods are off set from one another. If you string them on a dowel rod through the pin hole you will see what I am trying to tell you. Blue Skies site had a picture of his done that way to demonstrate the off set. Quote
greg g Posted February 18, 2011 Report Posted February 18, 2011 I guess All par blocks direct links to their photo's even though they are all over the net. Scroll down http://www.allpar.com/history/plymouth/1946-1959/plymouth-2.html Quote
