A tip with gaskets is to use a spray contact adhesive to hold the gasket to a part while moving it around and putting it on. It'll save your life when you do a repair in the field.
Glad to see it's really starting to come together.... I thought for sure you would have done one of Rob's tricks for making his own gasket's, he put's a very light thin coat of grease on the part and gently set's it on the cork and presses it down firmly to get his pattern, seems to work for him... LoL . Merrie~Merrie
I know you have minimal time to work on the engine, but thats good, the pace is not rushed and you just know its going to work spot on because you took your time :-) Once its done i suspect you wont need to touch it again for a looooooooong time :-)
Thanks for the comment. The pump without a gasket would not turn. The gasket I used may have given it too much play. I hope the pressure is not too low. I will probably end up getting a new pump if this one is not producing enough pressure. It's easy enough to replace.
Exellent vids. I was just thinking- that oil pump gasket you made that was missing, did you need one on the oil pump. I have an old volvo engine very similar but does not have a gasket in the oil pump. The plate just bolts on to the housing without a gasket. Could that affect the oil pressure. Thanks for the brilliant Vids! Pete
I thought I should mention an issue you have introduced when cleaning up your oil pump. There is never a gasket between the body of the pump and the end plate. There should only be a very small amount of clearance between the rotors and the end plate (approx .004"). Otherwise you have opened up a large gap between the suction side of the pump and the pressure side. I fear that you will have very little oil pressure by putting that gasket between the body and plate and had to mention it.
I have a little secret lol Some of the videos were shot on the same day, but I didn't want them to go over 10min each if I could help it. Thanks for watching Buddy!
Nice video series. Oil pumps do not always or hardly ever have a gasket for that cover, and cork is not suitable for that job. very thin paper gaskets were used when needed. End clearance on the pump gears cant be maintained when you add extra clearance with a gasket.
Cork will shrink over time. It will most likely blow out then, which will cause a drastic drop in oil pressure. Suggest keeping a very close eye on the oil pressure gauge.
As far as I know there is no gasket in beween the endplate and the pump, the gears have to just touch the endplate, just a thin film of oil, with the gasked mounted youve got to mutch end play, giving less oil pressure and bad suction when dry.
EdzGarage depending on the brand of sealant, the application is determined by color. Blue is for water, etc. I think you needed a black or grey for this application.
+EdzGarage on the rear main etc where machined surfaces go together you can use Permatex aircraft sealant, it does not harden and creats an oil resistant seal.

Fine job Bud!! We should be wearing our Ford hat while workin' on that thing eh!!☺
The oil pump looks like a better design than some car engines had
Can't wait to hear it run, fun project.
Very good series of videos. Thanks.
Outstanding job of editing.

The oil pump is so simple, but very effective!

Getting close now Matt!
Looking good Ed. Coming along nicely!!

That seems correct
It's the heart of the engine.
Looking good! The exciting part is near
Since you have gone this far , are you going to replace the freeze plugs in the block ? Gerry
I have a little secret lol Some of the videos were shot on the same day, but I didn't want them to go over 10min each if I could help it. Thanks for watching Buddy!
No, I power washed the block and everything was clean in the water jackets.

oil pump just like Ford him self simple and effective!!
Thanks for the comment!
You would make a great teacher.
Me too! Thanks Craig!
Not a priority right now. Next time I tear it down I'll spend some time on paint too.
I want to see it run!

Simple and reliable... what more could you ask for?? lol
Yep, the gasket on the new one was much thinner.
lol, dont matter to me, im happy to enjoy your great videos :-)
love the videos , looks great!
Great job Ed
Me too!
RTV gone crazy. The ol' timers won't like it. I'm enjoying the series though. Thanks.
lol and it still leaks...

Thanks Matt!
Thanks Lyne.
I know its a work tractor but it should get some fresh paint to make it worth your while!
As far as I know this Jubilee is the oldest one I've found.
You got that right!
Good progress. watching
Thanks!
Thanks Buddy!
Thanks for watching!
Great work.
Very near!
Thank you
You going to less oil pressure put that gasket there
Are you going to at least give that tractor a fresh coat of Ford red paint and clean up the rest of it???
Not this time. She needs to get to work ASAP lol
LOL I wear whatever is handy eh!!
Thanks Merrie!
Thanks!
Thanks!
