Drawings
Hello Perry
It really looks great, I'm excited to see it running once you finished it. I'm just starting a similar project sexton from Seco. # 2080 Do you have drawings from the front mud guards you rebuilt? Nothing is left on mine. I added a photo when we picked it up. Regards Mark

Perry; All of my valve guides were perfect, even though some of the valves were pitted. Out of all the cylinders, only one valve seat needed to be ground. I measured every part in the engine, and nothing showed any wear. The stems of the valves showed only a mark of the rocker roller in one position. The valves are free to rotate, but never had been run long enough to do so. The (1952) rebuild shop left a screw in the intake, and it got sucked into the supercharger. I could follow the marks as the screw travelled through the whole engine. It ended up in #8 cylinder where it bounced around for a while. It chipped the edges off the piston in several spots before being spit out. The rebuild shop also left a gob of grease and sand inside of the fuel pump housing. The rocker box interconnecting tube on #6 cylinder has an adapter that bolts to the left sump. The adapter was still packed with cosmoline. Finally, one push-rod socket and spring were missing. I didn't notice it untill reassembly (thanks go to Phil connor for getting one to me by next-day-air). I was wondering earlier why one of the push rods had wear marks on the parkerizing. It must have been banging around inside the housing. This engine was quite an adventure. I wish I had another one to do! Jesse.

Mark,
I do not have the sketches I made to fabricate the fenders anymore. I can take measurements and photos of my new ones and send to you. There is a small difference between the fenders on a one piece nose compared to the three piece nose because of the steeper angle of the three piece housing and the clearance cast in to the one peice housing for the extended end connectors. Perhaps Adrian has more information on this. Attached is a photo of the stripped accessory gear case. It appears the designers went out of their way to make things as complicated as possible. Hey Jesse, when do you want me to ship this engine to you? Last edited by Perry Kitson; 14-02-11 at 23:32.
