Technical *** November 2015 Banger Meet - Holidays are just around the corner ***

I have run damperless for years and never lost a crank Even on the English and Italian stuff

 

I wish I had your luck!

 

When I was considering purchasing a Scat crank I had planned on asking if they had any recommendations regarding dampeners . Deal fell through so I never had the occasion to ask them. Just a thought.

 

Bill I asked Scat this very question when they 1st started selling A+B cranks and I brought a few
along with questions about other tech stuff
The e-mail back said they had done No testing with these cranks but a dampener was highly recommended
As I already had a dampeners that work well on C model cranks I went with them
that crank has a lot of very hard miles both race and highway on it and so far is good

 

I got my stroker Scat crank from H and H cause it was the last one available!
There was only 7 made! (Now I know why they only made 7!)

I sure wish they recommended one to me! My engine would most likely still be running!!! (Gaining Banger Experience Sure Is Expensive!!!)

Hot-irons Have you looked at the front plate made by Pat Gary model.b.master@hotmail.com His frontcover uses an angle drive distributor a waterpump and provison to fit an oil pump on the front of the cam very happy with mine

 

Thanks Russ. Could you please post a picture of your setup?

 

cars at upholster at rthe moment treating it to some new threads first time in 40 years it showed its age lick me since I last did it.

 

Anyone have experience with solid hood sides and a warm four banger? Just pondering not punching louvres in the hood before I spray the front end on the latest creation.

 

I like your car . where you are its mostly cool year round ? if so I would try it before paint & see .... steve

 

anyone using the chev 350 rear main seal in there banger ? if so , I would like info & pic if possible . thanks .. steve

 

I had no louvers in the hood of my home bodied avatar car, which had a warm '27 Chevy four. Plenty air escapes out the bottom.

what a amazing part

 

Thanks!
I hope to get it in the car this weekend!
Joe

 

I am! It's important to offset the seal. Dan McEACHRN sells the kit. 125 plus tax & shipping.

 

Nice coupe!!

 

I have used a couple, PM me with questions.

 

Hi, where's your thrust bearings?
Scat told me I was screwed because H n H ran my thrust in the center! (prob. just a BS excuse!?)
My friend built an awesome line boring machine so now I don't have to drive 500 miles to have a line bore done. We will be doing my 5 main crank soon!
Joe

 

my thrust is 2 piece , both sides of crank just in front of the rear seal .

 

Got any pictures? You know how much we love Banger pics!!!!????

 

This is the prettiest Block and Crank picture Iv'e ever seen!

 

no really good pix of thrust , but it is 2 piece , bronze , on both sides of slinger ring .

 

Yeah, I can see the one on the outer side of the block just inside of the aluminum piece but it also looks like one on the inside as well. Is it done like mine?

 

to see more pix of my motor go to my albums . I appreciate any help ............ steve

 

That's not a block.
The thrust is in the center main.

This is a SBC seal on an A block, I use the high performance beige seal cause they are thinner. Ifyou look close you will see where the JB goes to stop oil leak in the first photo. The main cap just quite doesn't cover the outside edge of the aluminum adapter

 

Oh, That's why it's so pretty! It's an aluminum girdle!?
Joe

 

Yep, no sense being half sick!!

 

This is my last half sick engine! My next one will be with a 5 main crank and a girdle! Even, Titanium rods! Bam!!! (True bullet proof!!!)
Yes, in my street driven Roadster. Ha ha!
