That port goes to exhaust. Never had much luck with silicon or epoxy. Last one i did i used the EGR plate,milled off the mount on the back and plugged the two holes with pipe plugs.

I have that exact same one. It was my grandfather's. BC Ames Co Pat July 6 1925

Is there another way?

Had 2 sets of Morel to break tie bars , was told i used wrong lifters for application . Used a .700 roller should have used .750. Both cams were under .600 lift.

Customer tells me how to do the job or what it "should" cost he goes out the door.

thanks,i will check into that

engine is going on my 27 touring car so engine is exposed.really need protection and corrosion resistance.

I have an aluminum engine i want to clear coat. What have you used that seems to work and hold up?

There is about .080 - .100 difference in bore length in an 880 and older 010 blocks. Using 6 " rods will move pivot point up .300 so there less side pressure at bdc. Lot less skirt wear.

Erik Bolander has always answered any questions i have at Howards since moving there from Erson.is that who you talked to?

i have a 6.0 that broke a rod and took out #8 sleeve. bored out the remainder of the sleeve to see about repairing. decided not to.I'm in Lebanon Ky u can have if u want it.

check runout on seal area on crank.had one years ago that would leak after short run time.it had about .014 from what i can remember.

I always take pump apart then mount loosely use 4 shims between rotor and pump housing to center it then tighten housing.have seen diy mechanics get it in a bind and burn up pump rather quick.

found a core in July ,but customer passed away in September. Now have a pile of fairly expensive parts waiting to hear from his family.

LIBERTY still has DELPHI lifters in stock. not cheap but still available.
