Best Way to Remove a Timing Gear - 1934 Series 50
Rooster replied to Nevadavic's topic in Buick - Pre War
When I need to remove the timing gear on my 1929 I find it easier to pull the complete camshaft and gear out. It does mean taking off rocker shaft and pushrods / cam followers. Then it's easy to press the gear off and press new one on. It takes "maybe" a bit longer and might have to cut a new gasket. But I don't know if the 1934 engine has a similar setup. -

There is a Buick part for sale on Craigslist that I'm interested in buying but the seller will only take cash and won't respond to my email, if it went through at all ? No phone number listed, so I don't know if it's been sold. The part is located in a town called New Braufels which looks like it's north on the highway to Austin. Craigslist # 7187809556 I'm asking if anyone close could pay for it and pack / ship to me please, but only if it's convenient for you. I can pay you via PayPal. I suppose the first step would be to make contact and find out if sold. Thanks, Ken.

Australian Buicks change to centre gear handle

Go pick it up when Madame Annastacia opens up the border ( after the election most probably ) -
That is beautiful metalwork, a craftsman at work. I'm envious for those skills.

Bullitt ---- did you get to solve this problem ??

I once had the same problem on a non Buick engine. Turned out the intake manifold gasket was gone and this allowed oil to be sucked from the engine internals into the carb induction space. I ended up pulling the conrods and honing bores and replacing rings ( and replacing necessary gaskets -- the intake being one of them ) Problem solved, thought it was just rings and blow pass. It was a short time later when a friend said to me that when he was a garage mechanic, the intake gasket was the culprit -- common problem. If I had only known sooner, could of saved me a lot of work, $

I have left over from my 1954 ------ a set of 4 exhaust valves N.O.S. wrapped in grease proof paper in original box. A pair of new rubber door glass corner pieces, I think 2 door quarter window seal -- Rubber The Right Way part # 10-003X @ $46. Had them in storage since bought, only just found them. Same for a pair of new repro rear reflectors, they are 1 9/16" O.D. Sell all together for $70 shipping included, Paypal only for family and friends payment. With the reduction in air traffic, shipping time will be longer than usual.

I too replaced all my 1929 globes with LED ( except headlight, haven't been able to find yet ) I'm especially happy with the SUPER bright brake light which is a big bonus because of having only one tail light and for modern traffic. I installed 12V bullet LED turn signals ( motorcycle units off Ebay ) I also purchased a 6V - 12V electronic converter ( Ebay ) and a 12V flasher unit that must be suitable for LED ( Ebay ) You can't use the old style can type with LEDs They look great and are really bright. It's not original stuff I know , but I put safety and reliability b
