10B engine rebuild

[vtnorth]

Three problem questions....

1. Cam shaft, mine is pitted badly. Anyone know of good replacement? Anyone know a shop to fix?

2. Pistons, I have five with 3 rings and one with 4 rings. Need one 3-ring piston.

3. Timing chain, mine has a half inch flex if I lay it on the bench, hold the two ends and move center up and down. Is that OK?

thanks

New Pistons are available from Egge Machine. New timing chains are available from Jeff Hasslen.

Camcraft in  Arden North Carolina should have a master for that cam.  You will need to grind the lifter faces at the same time.

There is a ton of information and support for Franklins. If you haven't already, join the HH Franklin Club. Come to the Franklin Trek this summer.

Been to the Trek three times in past six years. Our car club (VAE) has our big annual show when the Trek is happening, makes for a big rush. You are right Steve, our Franklin club has great info and an even greater history.

You have some nice cars there. I just closed a deal on a '19 Touring. I now have 3 on the road and a couple waiting their chance.
