[External] [WillysTech] L6-226 for sale???
开云体育Don't know where you are located. In the midwest, Jasper Engines has a good reputation for remanufactured engines. Expensive but have a good warranty. If they can do it you will likely need to ship your old engine to them as the demand for flathead 226s
is not large. They generally work through local shops. It's getting hard to find mechanics/machinists that have experience with old engines.

开云体育Pruitt,
Agree on the high zinc oils for flat tappets....a must have.
However, I don't agree on the hardened valve seats. I have several vintage car engines that are doing just fine on their engines I rebuilt, and the valves are seated against the original cast iron seats. There has been no bedding, seating, erosion of any
valves into the cast iron like was claimed years ago that would happen when tetraethyl lead was removed from fuel. Every few years I check valve clearances, and clearance is staying steady, meaning nothing is happening.
I've put thousands of miles on these engines.
The milling of blocks/heads to make room for hardened seats is an unnecessary risk to install something not needed..... especially for engines that will likely only ever see a few thousand miles for generations to come. Just my opinion.

开云体育It depends.If the engine has been run on leaded gas and the seats are not cut, there is enough lead embedded to continue running a lot of miles on unleaded gas, ?But, if one cuts the seats during a valve job, then the wear starts . About 12,000 miles and the wear is so bad there is no compression. ?I think there are several more factors, like how hot the valve gets and spring pressure (new ones) , but Both the rear cylinder exhaust seats were gone by an eighth of an inch at 12,000 miles on my Chevy V8. ?Before that, I had run probably 100,000 miles on unleaded . With weak springs and low miles you probably could get by.? Pruit

开云体育When I was running the 327 in Tinkertoy I pulled the heads after around 75,000 miles and found one exhaust seat hammered about 3/16" into the head. I replaced all the exhaust valves as well as intake and exhaust seats and guides. After another 75,000 miles I tore the engine down when I replaced it with the 383 and found all the valves and seats looking good still. Definitely worth it if you're putting a lot of miles on it.John '56 Pickup TKER TOY Graham, Wash. On 3/31/2021 6:32 AM, Pruit Ginsberg via groups.io wrote: > It depends.

The pickup is in Colorado Springs, CO. No if's and or but's, it will need to be rebuilt. Compression has dropped on all six cylinders and there's no power. I would agree w Pruitt, when I rebuilt it I don't think we used the hardened valve seats. I purchased the complete kit from one of the willys suppliers, and I don't think that was an option at the time.?? Unfortunately, I'm afraid I'm past doing it again myself and the shops I used to use around here are all gone. Also, we really don't drive it all that much, down to Home Depot in the summer to load up on mulch & flowers, the required ice cream shop runs, etc.,? but I do still plow in the winter. That's why I thought I'd look for one that runs to just swap this one out.?

开云体育Skip, there is a shop in Santa Fe NM that could dl that I think, but it would not be cheap. ?If you need a phone number I can get you one.Pruit
