Parts of Dave's Engine in a Tub Here is all that could be seen of my old engine. The case, crank and heads are at the machine shop. The news on all these pieces is ok so far. The crank will be ground 10 under and nitrided. The case will have to be align bored because the openings are now oval. The heads will be fly-cut to handle larger diameter pistons as the engine will be converted to 1720 cc using Shasta pistons. The case had been welded once to fix a crack at the mounting point for the oil cooler, not an uncommon occurrence. I dropped off the carburetors from the spare engine and the original 022 distributor as candidates for rebuilding. |
