Technical ***June 2022 Banger Meet Thread - June Already?***

Retson, what's the oil pump off your front cover off of ?

 

I wish! Highschool sports left me with a bad back.

Good question, I have no clue. There isnt any markings, but I plan on tearing it down!

 

I know this is more about hopped up bangers , but would anyone have a parts drawing showing the order of assembly of parts for the input shaft for an early gearbox with a multi plate clutch?
Trying to track down a reason for the shaft to have excessive end float.
Thanks for any help, I’ve also asked on the barn ,just putting it out there.

 

See if this helps.

Thanks Fabber McGee, that’s exactly what I was looking for, very much appreciated.

 

Late night banger activities.

 

Up to no good I can assure you.....

Damn nice looking, J

 

Thanks Fabber,
Got this from another member on the barn, which was what was missing.
Obvious to some but not to whoever built the gearbox in my banger.
“The on'ly protection the multiple disk clutch has is the addition of two extra oil baffles just forward of the transmission front bearing.”

Thanks again, it may help someone else also.

 

Now that is something to get me moving again

 

The local shop I brought my motor to for overhaul called and said they didnt have the proper machine to do the line bore for the crank journal bearings so I collected my stuff and drove up to Berts in Denver and a month later get the call the block is no good..bummer. so I put out a call to the model A club and a more than geneous member gave me 3 blocks. All have issues but Im banking on a 37 diamond block that has close to std bore and just looks to be in better condition than the other 2. Not counting on luck but crossing my fingers anyway

 

John, can you finish this one for me ?

 

Did you get that from Troy at the roadster show? I ended up with the bare castings.
Yeah, we can work something out, going to have to wait until after Bonneville.
Was finishing up header for my car, much easier to just buy one....

 

He had some cool Kong pans, but those blank front timing cover castings were cool!

 

Yes, It should fit my crank and rods nicely.

No hurry. Fit it in when you can.

If you want it done right ....... You have to do it yourself, It looks good!!!!

 

F.A.S.T is starting up again! For those of you that hadn't jointed, here's the application that just came last week.

 

Sent mine in the AM

 

Nice work on your headers. I like your work, our headers
are similar.

oh ya baby, twisted curves of beauty!

I am not convinced the tubing size on mine is big enough, just an experiment.

Here’s one for y’all

 

Another side

 

New Burtz block Had a couple of moments with it. The oil galley plug at the rear seeped...was able to reach in and back it out and then goop up with 620 Locktite, what I should have used in the first place then the rear counterweight hit the back of the dipper tray...oil pan back off. At least it wasn't fatal.
I'll let you know how it runs after break in

 

Hi Retson, would you have any other photos of the drive area of the red Magneto drive?
They would be very much appreciated.

 

I can snap a few next time I'm at my parents house. This is a SM Smiley Martin drive, but for some reason it doesn't have the base for a mag or water pump. I'm a little confused still on what application this was used for.

 

Thanks, looking at maybe fabricating one .

 

Lots of interesting stuff here, any idea on the head, homemade?

 

Not home made that is a McKinney REM OFFY head sitting on a Donovan block

About as radical as you as you can get

The photos I took before I sent it to him
