  8. Talked to , he did not remove that pinion shaft with gear . However the book parts said it has pin . So that must be how it mounts . Also rear bearing is pinned also , as opposed to front and center with screws. Also rear is not poured but listed as a plug , maybe lead, taped in like modern soft plug .
  9. My friend just rebuild his cam areas last year can check with if want . I do remember that some of the hold set screws came down from head side . He also had new fibre gears for sides of his . The machinist has the programing done and ready for next need to be made.

  18. Save some larger pieces of babbitt to send with . Get a BOI for your model some had offset of width in babbit edge on different cylinder number . Chrysler sixes example . Send piston pin with for them to check twist .
  19. Just went though same trouble on 4 cyl Ply PA . Was able to leave head on and disconnect rod from bottom . Tried to do in vehicle , in end pull to do proper plastigage of all mains and rods . I would take crank out and send to shop so they can size . Just incase they vary . Polish crank before checking . I used crock-us cloth with nylon stocking to drive . You need to pull crank because of babbitt in groove blockage and squirt holes in rod s . My rod whent out because prior rebuilder never put grooves in mains to feed oil to crank joural to rods ie never got direct oil to rods lasted near two thousand miles on residual oil splash . Good Luck .
  20. On my '31 with Plymouth PA type 4 cylinder . Have front engine cover off that covers cam and crank gears , also bevel gear on cam nose and vertical shaft with spiral gear for distributor to drop down in . The distributor index's a slot but gear below has more possibility with all teeth . Must be better way than fishing with magnet down distributor hole and turning and reinstalling dist. to test if near TDC #1 plug on cap .
