Guest peterstutz Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Hi, I am about to change the Oil on a 1928 Stutz Bb Blackhawk vertical cylinder engine. The Sump is an aluminium finned casting. I cannot find a drain plug on the bottom of the sump anywhere. Does anyone know where the oil drain is on these engines please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Not sure about Stutz, but a lot of cars from that era used petcocks on the side of the oil pan for both oil drain and level checking, one mounted high and one mounted low usually at the back. My 28 Pierce had those with t-handles attached that were above the splash pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest peterstutz Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Thank you. The photo show it well. On my sump where the plug is on your engine there is just a threaded bolt which made me unsure. Appreciated. PS the photo of your engine work looks fantastic. Thanks Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
