  1. I am looking forward to up date my data, hope you can help.. 

    Was there an optional head using 14mm plugs?

    Not shown in my data.

     

    For 1929 Pontiac  the following companies show all plugs are 7/8"   18 thread which is different than 14 mm.

    AC                  78  

    Titan                1  

    Champion    22  

    Edison          33

    Lodge           CT

    KLG              A10

    Firestone    S100C

     Pyros          23K

     

     

     

     

  2. I opened the email and left clicked image to copy it, it took a while for image to develop. 

    opened reply to this topic box,    then click to paste, just wait while it develops.

     

    I hope that helps

  3. Had a similar issue, welded a larger hex ring around a damaged crank jaw damaged surface. filled in and smoothed  surface. 

    looks like you may have room around your damaged nut to add to the overall diameter.

     

    Perhaps you have thought of carefully, bit by bit  welding  up the surfaces and then redress the surfaces.

  4. I enjoyed looking into this.

    Do you have a picture of piston with "flapper valve" ? before you button it up??

    //////////

    If your piston is driven by a camshaft lobe, is it single or double lobe.  ( one lob on each side of cam shaft )???

    That will help to understand what quantity of oil it is delivering.

    ///////////////////

    I have an Essex engine with slug pump, it is driven 1/12 engine speed and is not a large pump.

    As a volume pump it apparently passes enough oil for a 160 cu in, 60 Hp motor rated over 5000 rpm.

     

    Good luck with your motor.

  5. I hope the pics you sent to me help others.

     

    I am just ruminating in my mind:

    1. Horizontal pump plunger has spring return to keep contact with cam lobe. this appears to be sealed to block, and likely below level of oil in pan, so any blow may be reduced with oil surrounding it.

    2. If no check valve in lower discharge outlet then bulke of oil goes this way toward inner engine and rods to fill troughs.

    3. Vertical tube with large round barrel is a pressure dome, this will smooth out the pump pulsations.

     4. little ball bearing is a check ball, to only let small pulses of oil to be pushed up to larger barrel area, to eventually go to gage and then front of engine.

    5. If I am somewhat correct so far, then your pump is not a high pressure pump.

    6. engine rpm will increase oil flow but a 'slug' pump is basically a volume pump.

     

    I have similar type ( not the same ) oil pumps on several engines.  It seems to me the  oil is supplied as make up oil with basic operation coming from the oil in the toughs.

    So make sure they are full before running.

    ////////////

    Hit and Miss farm engines have little check balls in lower end of gas line in tank to allow gas to remain up in the gas line to be ready for next intake intake stroke.

    Some old outboard motors have similar "check valves" in water intake system to retain flow.

    I sure hope I'm some what right?

  6. I must be missing something, the spec's are confusing:

    6 VDC at 20 A  and 120W

    a 20 amp circuit should put out 1500 w  easily.

    Perhaps it's only  2.0 amp.

    Also the instructions indicate the need for a Cap on a variable input from a pulsed generator.

    They may mean Alternator, but if using an old generator, the batt may not provide a stable reference source with the generator in operation.

    It may not handle ripple well.

     

    I do not know physical size of unit but in the old days I think we used a 1000 watt wire wound ceramic screw tap  resistor to drop 12 to 6.  

    Sure got hot, had to mount it away from any thing!

  7. with out seeing actual pictures of your pump and internal parts, I surmise the following:

    1. vertical sliding pump piston supplies TWO  levels of oil pressure and volume.

    2. a check valve above point where oil is pressure fed to engine rod area and toughs.

    3. check valve in lower area to stop oil from leaking back to lower pan

    4. not sure of this but the flapper valve in piston head may be a releaf ( vacuum breaker ) so piston can return downward to be able to pump again.

     

    How many check valves in your system?  and where ?
