Hi Bill - now I stumbled on your question. In the process of finalizing the re-build of a 16E but also have a 15E dismantled. The 2 engines are very similar with most parts interchangable. The biggest difference the I have found is that the head is improved with higher compression (smaler chamber) and also different spark pluggs (smaler/more "modern"). Also believe that the 16E has 60Hp while the 15E had 50 - not that this makes any huge difference LOL. Different distributors on the 2 engines but they are interchangable...

I am the proud owner of a 1927 REO Wolverine open 7-seater originally purchased new by my grandfather in May -28. It was one of 10 identical vehicles that was converted to taxis in Bergen, Norway. I also have a -28 sedan in bad condition that I keep for spares. I am doing some work on the original Continental 15E engine and wonder if anyone out there has knowledge about if bearings are available from anywhere?

Can I ask you if you had any success? My 1927 REO Wolverine also has the Borg & Beck type 10 QL clutch - and I need the black (carbon?) release "bearing + the cluch plates.
