    Rod bearing failure

    I had no compression on #1, poured some oil in the hole and compression jumped up so it was time to inspect the rings. when I pulled #1 I found the honing was incorrect so I started pulling pistons so I could re-hone the bores and that's when I discovered the top rod bearings were all pitted and...

    Rod bearing failure

    My new micrometer finally came in today and I was able to mic the journals. I find every journal measured 1.499 top/bottom and side/side. Those measurements match the standard size for the motor and I am of the belief that the crankshaft was replaced with a new one when this motor was rebuilt...

    Rod bearing failure

    I highly doubt that bearing crush was ever checked. What I can tell you is that the cylinders were honed improperly, the piston rings were installed wrong on at least 2 cylinders and, the carb wasn't adjusting right. Oh and apparently I must have lost my micrometers in the divorce or the cabin...

    Rod bearing failure

    Its a road day for me so I'm away from home, but it seems I've asked the right place I think. I've been wondering if the rod bearing may have been the wrong size when put in. The motor appears to have a bunch of machining done to it in the past and the crank doesn't show hardly anything for...

    Rod bearing failure

    I haven't seen any evidence of coolant or water in the crankcase. Every piston actually had excessive carbon buildup for the amount of use this engine seems to show. This Cub seems to have been run pig rich after a rebuild. I have contemplated fuel contaminated oil leading to this flaking, but...

    Rod bearing failure

    I am working on a Farmall Cub I just bought and am having to pull pistons. Every piston has a top rod bearing that is delaminating. The bearing appears to be flaking apart, but only on the road side and not the cap side. The rod journals show no signs of wear or damage and look to have either...

    Farmall Cub piston removal

    I e pulled a couple out of the bottom, but never reinstalled them that way before, but I have pinched the rings with my fingers before to get them to compress enough Poured oil down the spark plug hole, compression jumped right up. After pulling the head it is obvious that #1 and #4 were on the...

    Farmall Cub piston removal

    That's what I was figuring. My buddy Mark claims to have done a couple from the bottom only and with as frustrated as this Cub has made me I was kinda hoping for an easy way out. Ah well, guess I'll go through the valves too since I'll be that far into it. Thanks Steven

    Farmall Cub piston removal

    So this really nice recently restored cub that was sitting for "3 yrs" is really starting to snowball one here. Since I was unable to remove the Governor cover without the governor coming along with it I have to retime the motor. Well.... I went to turn the motor over to TDC on #1 and discovered...

    Cub throttle issues

    It looked possible, however..... My old nemesis RVT showed up and ruined that plan. And then after I wiggled the entire housing out I found out that the problem is the arm on top was rusted onto the pivot shaft. I managed to heat and oil it enough to get it to move back and forth a bit, but knew...

    Cub throttle issues

    Thank you. Almost looks like I can separate the case from the governor without pulling the governor and having to retire it, maybe.

    Cub throttle issues

    So I got the new carb delivered last night and am in the shop about to out it on. I went to adjust the throttle lever all the way back to idle and the lever fought me and felt like it had spring tension bringing the throttle linkage back to about 7/8 position. After inspection I found the...

    Cub carburetor problem

    I saw her say that and couldn't figure out why she drilled out the bottom of it and then wanted to JB weld the hole back up. Terrible advice. While I. Waiting on the carb um going through the rest of the fuel system and I'm sure I'll have to at least file the points, but are there any cub...

    Cub carburetor problem
