Junk rings

[dl456]

Hello,

I'm going to try here first.

I have a Willys Knight model 87. I rebuilt/assembled the engine out of boxes several years ago.

I mistakenly, surgically cleaned and assembled the engine and have been driving it for about three years now.

4-5k miles. It runs super quiet, smooth and has plenty of power but continues to smoke excessively when cold.

I am guessing that I may have damaged the junk rings in an attempt to tighten them on the head.

I have a set from a used model 70A. I think the bore is the same. Will they fit?

I can't find part numbers. I would post this on the WOKR but can't seem to get on that site.

Anybody know?  Ivan?

All suggestions appreciated.

Dennis

Right now they are using a beta site for testing new software. Looks good.

Thanks Frank,

I was able to register. Waiting for confirmation.

I am almost sure that I have this data somewhere. Just have to find it.

I hate to tear the 87 down and find out the 70A parts don't fit.

The car is currently running and I hate pushing cars!

Oil burning when cold was characteristic. An old timer who used a 1924 WK 4 cylinder as a tour car told me it burned a quart of oil in 60 miles. After that, nothing. Next day it would burn a quart in sixty miles, then nothing. It took that long to completely warm up. This was in the 1960s and an original unrestored car.

 

Have also heard they run better and produce more power the more miles they have on them. So, you might try taking a few long tours and see what happens.

Does detergent oil keep the carbon from forming or sticking? It is the carbon that seals things up.
