I had hell with the studs on the oil pump on my ‘49. The threads stripped when removing the nuts and I ended up having to get a machine shop to make duplicates. They were made from grade 8 bolts. I had to order the grade 8 fine thread nuts from Bolt Depot. All that cost me nearly $300 and about three months down time. I found a 1951 8n on FB market place for $800 so now I have another project when the ‘49 is finished.
Are used a putty knife laying flat with the gasket seal took one of my wife’s serrated knives and gently cut and cut quickly with a nice straight surface had a difficult with a sharp razor blade
@@geronimotudor3386 3:18 into the video, he is clearly putting assembly lube onto the main bearings. I looked for your engine rebuild videos, but I couldn't find them. Do you have a link? On my channel, you can see some small engines I got running again, after four years of water in them. Some things aren't quite as critical as others would have you believe. Untold thousands of these tractors were rebuilt, quite literally, in a fresh plowed field and then finished their work. Not exactly level 5 clean room conditions. I drove my old truck, with no measurable oil pressure (once slightly warm) for 25 miles to pick up a rebuilt short block. It didn't rattle or knock at all. I didn't hot rod it during the trip, and it made it just fine. Oil flowed and it was fine, despite having less than 1psi of pressure. Early motorcycles didn't have pressurized systems, they didn't even really have splash oilers, they had a little pump plunger the rider operated as he saw fit. Look at Briggs engines, no pressurized oil system, no bearings, just a rod straight on a crank journal and a splasher for lubrication. All that matters is something is there to prevent metal to metal contact. If he'd not at least put oil on the bearings, it would have likely seized pretty quick, and it certainly appears that didn't happen.
you can remove 3 oil pump bolts, torque the mains and then install oil tube
Did you plasta gage the journal to check the clearance ?
No. If I remember correctly, we measured it with a caliper, and just got the bearings for them that fit best.

If the crank and cam.are out of time will it run but run rough or will it backfire
Owners who refuse to train and thus keep their dogs quiet ruin the peace of every neighborhood, and videos like this.

Where did you get that hammer
We made it out of a chunk of brass, and a piece of a burnt up barrel
This is NOT how to rebuild this engine. No prelube- no plasti-gauge. Brass mallet....and that damn dog. Yikes!
I saw him put assembly lube on the bearings, so.....
@@tonyfremont Who did- the dog?

I put lube on everything. I didnt film every second.
