Service Bullentins manual, just arrived in the mail.
I bought this "Service Bulletins, Mechanical" manual on ebay recently. Covers 1939-1949 & lots of DND stuff inside. Nice embossed cover with metal edging for protection.

Disappointing Day!
Things did NOT go as planned today.
The engine I had expected to bring home turned out to be incompatable with the Blitz. Seller steadfastly stated the heads with water outlet at front would be easily replaced with the type I needed, having outlet at top middle. Some quick inspection showed this was simply untrue. The heads as they were, are designed for water pump to bolt onto head NOT block as needed. I had to virtually prove this was the case, with the seller asserting he knew better. Must have felt pretty foolish when I challenged him to show me where the 'correct' water pump would bolt onto the block!!!!! He even tried to tell me that the block could be drilled & threads tapped to make the water pump fit correctly. Would take a BLOODY BIG hole for the impeller to fit through. Honestly..........!?!?!?

Hi Tony - there is a possibility I may be able to get my hands on two or three flatheads in the near future. I haven't had a good look at them yet but they could be good candidates for rebuilding. I will keep you posted.
Bob

Thanks Bob!
Bob,
Thankyou! You will make both my Christmas list & Last Will if you find something suitable. I'm off to town now, for a bearing puller. I can't seem to get rear hub out of axle. Axle shaft is out, as is the cone bearing race, but not inner cone. Looking though the manual, I don't understand how this may prevent hub removal, but since it says remove it.......i'll remove it! Hub can move in/out about 1/8in but no further. Made makeshift hub puller from chain/dog attached to the axle bolt round plate & attached it to pull with tightening the 'dog' but no good & i'm not prepared to put great force onto it. Hub seems to strike something inside after the 1/8in movement. Enough grease inside there to choke a donkey & I can't get a good look in there. If at first you don't succeed, read another manual!!!!

sorry to hear about the engine Tony, at least you knew what you were looking at before you parted with cash and took it home.
If Bob can't help maybe Wayne or Dean can, now if you had a good ol Chev you would not have this sourcing problem
