1929wilbur Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Being very new to Chandler, I'd like to hear from other cChandler folks as to the availability of parts such as rings and valves for the Royal 8 engine. Is that even the correct name for the 1929 8 cylinder engine? I did learn, while at Hershey, that head and manifold gaskets are out there to buy, but before I dig into pulling this engine apart, I'd like to know where I stand. Also, what compression psi would be be deemed acceptable? A few of the jugs were making 65- 70 psi, which would seem perfectly fine, while others were from 5 to 40 psi.

Restorer32 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Generally speaking you can find such things as valves, pistons, rings etc for about any engine. They may not be Chandler specific and may have to be ordered by size. There are almost always parts available that will work or can be made to work with some alteration.
