Bryan Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Dang, you're about to make me do my own engine if I pull it out and the knocking bearing and crank isn't that bad.. only problem it's been setting since the early 90s.

keithb7 Posted October 25, 2021 Report Share Posted October 25, 2021 Glad to hear the updates. I too thought about doing a similar repair in my 38 Plymouth engine. Machining work is pretty pricey. I like to learn new things. I also enjoy the mental challenge. So I went for a full teardown and overhaul. I had planned to reuse the cam and tappets in my rebuild. Yet a good deal on a new NOS cam appeared. I bought it, then of course all new tappets. In the end only internal parts not replaced was the connecting rods. Pricey, yes. I sure hope I got it all right. When I fire it up I'll know! I have the same pistons you do. Also came from Vintage Powerwagons. I concur, great service. I had the incorrect head gasket supplied. They shipped one out pre-paid immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
