[Exhaust what would you do?]

What would you do ?
my exhaust manifold has some inserts in the end which line it up with the engine block.

I have brought some new gaskets to go between manifold and engine.

should I remove the inserts or leave them in?

The sump, note somebody has added a dipstick, which was to long.

[23 Buick head replacement?]

Easier this way up.

[23 Buick head replacement?]

Rebuilt, checked oil pump today. All working ok.

reassembled on to car.

Then I noticed the small holes in the cross pipe are facing downwards!

This part looks newer, guessing someone has had a go in the past. Am

I right in thinking these holes should face inwards/upwards to spray oil onto bearings?

Whats  the point of spraying oil downwards into the sump.

Can I just drill some new holes on the top side?

[23 Buick head replacement?]

Thanks guys, so what do I ask for ?

mild steel bolts ?

or

Stainless ?

[23 Buick head replacement?]

Great advise thank you. Yes I have a new gasket and intend to put copper gasket Sealant on it.

I think my bolts are 100 years old and soft. If I replace them what should they be, High tensile steel..?

[Gasket Sealant ?]

Thank you guys

[Gasket sealant?]

Just rebuilding my 1923 Buick engine, do I put some sealant (hermatite blue) on the head gasket ?

 

There is also a thin 0005 paper like gasket between short cylinder block and crankcase. Should I put sealant on that as well?

[Gasket Sealant ?]

Thanks for your reply.  That’s interesting. There was definitely a thin paper gasket it was .005     Between short cylinder block and crankcase.

            When I collected my engine from the machine shop he even cut me a new price of 005 paper of the roll and reminded me not to forget to install it.

 

 

What about a sealant (hermatite blue) on the head gasket?

[1923 Buick pistons]

I have new snap (circlips)  on each end. 
was more worried about wrist pin turning.
thanks

[Gasket Sealant ?]

I’m reassembling my 23 Buick 4 cylinder engine.

there is a thin almost paper like gasket between the short cylinder block and the crank case.

I’ve managed to find some paper gasket and made a thin gasket, but should I put gasket Sealant on both sides of this paper?

 

When  I put the head gasket on should that have sealant on both sides as well.?

[1923 Buick pistons]

Need advise, I’m not an expert and need help.

rebuilding my engine and I am fitting new pistons.

l’ve got new pistons to fit and new wrist pins.

but my question is, should the piston be fitted permanently to the wrist pin?

should there be split pins though the pistons and the wrist pins?

Am I right in thinking the wrist pins could start turning in the pistons.

There  are two holes?
