About time

something goes right, LOL. Peas and lettuce are up, chickens are sold (now all i have to do is replant part of the garden) and i finally got a tire on a rim even if i punctured the tube-hey, its a start

Also got my manuel from chris today, looks great and answers alot of questions of mine. Got some plastigauge and found a new block for that allis, and the lawn mower engine i mailed halfway across the country arrived and the person is very happy with it. I found a really good deal on some tires for a wagon and a planter. Now all i got to do is to find a thermos and a piston for that B...

So your block AND crankshaft need to be replaced...? I guess I need to go back and read all your posts. I thought it was just the 40 over crank.

...Care to give a quick summary of the B engine situation?

Thanks,

I never posted about that one. It has a 15" crack in the oilpan area. Plan "A" was to use that JB weld stuff, but i figured that it was gonna need a new block either now or when it was running. The crank was 30 under, wore 36 to 38 over. The guy said if it were a little more even i wouldnt need it worked on, just new bearings LOL. The B engine situation is this:

Loose and disassembled

1 piston destroyed completally

1 thermostat stripped out from removing old gauge. Also welded in 3 places. Need one of them

1 head being worked on by DickL

1 new crankshaft

1 new set of rod and main bearings

3 new rims, 3 new tires (all fronts)

1 determined 14 year old

1 rebuilt carborator

2 manuels
1 new muffler
2 gauges
1 new seat
