1949 ENGINE SWAP PREP part 4 

Thank you!

That’s my brother’s, I think he is planning on selling it after it’s running lol

@@redclaytraveler1949 I just bought a brass tag 110 and a '65 112 to take tk shows in the back of my '56 Willys. Can't wait for warm weather to get the truck out! Anyway, excellent installment!

That’s awesome! They are sick units for sure!

Oh no I’m not selling it. Certainly not with Jubals engine. I’m really looking forward to driving it. Putting this engine in it will make it a lot easier to work on and move around and if I want to swap engines later I always can

I’ll see about putting it together soon

That’s a very real possibility on the rooster lol I want to buy a drum of brake cleaner but I’m not RU-vid famous enough for that just yet lol

I have messaged to keep these clean so far lol

That’s what I’m saying but it will be sick lol

I know but I just don’t think much of it. Everything is poison these days. I should be more careful but we are exposed nearly 24 hrs a day in the modern world

I have two good gaskets for the oil pan and now I’m waiting on the gasket for the oil pickup because it was left out of the package. The oil gears that were in my cover look fine and I’m confused about how to set the depth because the gears in my go in and bottom out in the cover. They free turn when you turn the shaft but I’m probably just overthinking it because I haven’t gotten to put it together

@@redclaytraveler1949 ok they should bottom in the cover being the top of the gears. It's how far the stick out of the cover that matters. I would measure the depth of the cavity of both covers and as I said before measure the length of both sets of gears. This will tell you what your starting with. We may get lucky and all be the same. As before don't hesitate to message or call me. I'm retired so if I'm awake I will answer. I put some specs in my wallet as I was sure you would contact me when at the shop 50 miles away. Right now I have the book at my house not the shop and I'm home now. With that sludge I'm worried. I would be tempted to do a full tear down clean and inspect. I'm doing a 232 now that was clean but has slight bearing damage. I'm replacing everything but piston rods crank and valvetrain. All wear areas plus valve job. Probably 2 grand or more. We will see

@@redclaytraveler1949 interesting they say the filter will be at the factory angle. That's fairly new probably due to demand. And where did you get oil pan gaskets?

I bought one from eBay and the other from ta performance. The eBay is a Napa one and looks identical to the other

I’m not seeing anything in my engine to panic over. Mild scratches on the cylinder walls that I can see but that’s fairly normal, especially for old engines. It ran fine, had great oil pressure and had no knocks that I could hear. I certainly don’t have the money for a more in-depth rebuild and I don’t see it being necessary on this one. I’m the future when I have the money and if I’m having trouble I’ll rebuild it then. I’m probably going to end up calling you at some point but I’m working through it slowly and learning a lot

Yes you are correct, supposed to pack it with Vaseline

When I rebuilt my cj5 oil pump I packed it with Vaseline worked great on startup

I agree completely and I’m not a fan of super cold either lol The things so men went through is unbelievable to say the least.
