Sherman / Grant Air cleaners ?

Excellent quality photo , I have not seen before of the parts exploded. Yes it is No 7 in the picture I am after, have all other parts, as we have just finished a rebuild of one of these engines for a MK5. Pretty sure all the bellhousings I have got have been cast Iron, but there could be one alloy one in the stillage that I did not use. I even have a NOS block 6004 , serial number 10001 in a crate! Looks like I will have to cast one up , as I can get hold of one for a pattern , so will cast a couple for use with this NOS block, that could be built in the future . One other part , did you ever save any generator cradles , as that is one part that could be worth picking up , as I have half a cradle for this NOS block project, Cheers Andrew.

Andrew,

We didn’t find any generator cradles.

The images have come from these manuals. The nice exploded view of the flywheel housing is from the 6062/6004 parts book.

Hi Colin, nice manuals, have not seen the 6004 special manual.....would be a good one to get, as we have done several of these engines now for the Valentine, Cheers Andrew.

After seeing this post I had a distant memory of obtaining the 6004 special manual and sure enough I found it could do you a copy if you want ?
Flicking through it I did not know the 6004 also has a triple oil pump like the 6046 but is chain driven (6046 is gear driven ).

[Andrew Rowe]

Yes, the 6004 is chain driven, we have just finished installing one, and to get tension on the chain, there are shims under the mounting points. I think it is made up of two oil pumps and one scavenge pump. Do you have any spare new gears for them? , they are about 1&3/4" long, I think the shaft hole is 5/8" by memory. The Detroit dealers in the States are pretty hopeless on this old stuff, even getting gaskets has become a mission, they recon they are short of gasket paper for manufacturing in the US at the moment. If you come across a original manual , I would be interested in an original if you ever come across one, Cheers Andrew
