Dating Engines from parts book
Jim Sewell raises a very good point in his post about domed pistons and water pump changes, which fits right in to the thread http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=12592 (I'll post the piston listing pages on that thread.)
As to the water pump the picture below shows a `41 style water pump single inlet and the later 2 inlet + vent of the second style as you can see these are not interchangeable. This becomes very evident in the second photo which shows the gasket for two hole on the `41 single hole, as you can see the inlets don't line up nor do the mounting bolts.

Just be carefull as the original replacement bearings were supplied in a ' semi finished ' condition . The idea was they were to be ' line bored ' , as per the manual . I think the original part numbers will be for those semi finished shells. Not many engine shops do the line boring work any more , and it's a very time consuming, therefore, expensive process. The 216 precision shells didn't make an appearance til around 1948 ..they were made to fit the earlier motors pre 48 , as well as the post 48 motors. I've got a booklet here put out by GM , on the precision shells and how to install them with the motor in situ. You still use the shims , per the older type shells, which is interesting . Mike

Thanks Mike
Have tried three different US suppliers but I dont know what it is with US companies but they seem incapable of answering emails  very frustrating when you are trying to get things happenning I was curious about the original numbers as I have been told of a bloke with quite a few different cmp bearings but he dosent know what they fit or what to look for thought it may be a place to start Might be lucky enough to strike a finished set Would it be possible to get a scan or copy of that manual ? It sounds like a interesting read

216 main bearings
Andrew as Mike stated earlier the original main bearings were supplied for either line boring or hand scraping ( two different pt/numbers )
Here are some pt /no's for std mains . Blitz Parts book ( for hand reaming ) Front main 604003 Front int 604004 Rear int 604006 Rear 604535 Nasco ( precision finish ) F 3847064 FI 3847201 RI 3847606 R 3847068 ( 40/47 ) 3847067 ( 37/39 ) Repco ( sets for domed piston engines ) 1937/39 4M9559 1940 4M9979 It appears that the front 3 mains went right up to 1947 but the back main kept changing hence the different sets. When ordering check the width of the rear main . I have several sets of GMC mains , I will cross reference the numbers to see if they match. Regards Jim S.
