Sent: Monday, February 26, 2024 5:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [WillysTech] Dan's overhaul ? Continuing on the story, the engine from the wagon went to the machine shop for an evaluation.? They didn't like this condition: ? ? What we have are genuine block cracks, cylinders 2 and 3, that go from about an inch on the top, under the valve seat, and down the inside of the valve "hole", not sure of the proper name.? While Locknstich makes products and has a process for dealing with cracks, the depth down the valve hole they didn't like. ? So, the search began for a replacement block.? Nothing on Craigslist, anywhere within 1000 miles.? 150 miles to the south were a pair of engines that were complete, that had been used for a school project years ago, then stored.? Engine #1 looked like this: ? ? ? No pistons, or pushrod's; surface cylinder rust, one crack, but smaller, and does not extend below valve seat. But never bored out. ? Decided to look at engine #2: ? ? Notice the crack across the top, including under the peened area, and from the exhaust valve.? I took this engine back.? ? There turned out to be a third block, with no head.? It looked great on the top, no cracks, never bored, hooray! Until a side view revealed... ? ? A little patch and JB weld, maybe? ? This engine does have a good crankshaft,? helpful connecting rods, and a decent camshaft.?? So, we're going with the first block, with some parts, probably, from the third block.? ?
