Not bad swinging it by myself. Will post updates/questions as progress advances.

[John Wozney]

Nice looking job Roger.

[Roger Stahl]

Thank You John

[Roger Stahl]

Gents, With respect to the water jacket cover, besides the copper crush seals on each bolt is a flat washer required? Thread sealant as well?

[Don Benham]

Beautiful Roger!

[Bob Koch]

Roger,

No on the flat washer, but absolutely yes on the thread sealant.

[Roger Stahl]

Thank You Bob and Don

[Roger Stahl]

Are these threads of the balancer utilized for something? I do not remember.

[Roger Stahl]

Test fitting the oil lines that I purchased from John Cislak. Like everything else I purchased never any issues with Johns work. He is a true asset to the hobby

[Roger Stahl]

Another look

[Randy Roberson]

Maybe the threads are for a puller? Speculation…

[Edgar Minnie]

Roger, you need to round the modern fitting on the oil pressure relief valve, back in the day, they were not square. Also check for marks and casting draft pulls on the elbow on the bottom. Small detail, but since they need to be chromed, may as well get it right first time around. Not trying to nit pick, but modern fittings stick out like a sore thumb.

[Roger Stahl]

Will do Ed, Thanks

[Roger Stahl]

Gents, With respect to the Carb linkage. Chrome,paint or is either ok?

[Jim Livings]

Roger,

On my 1930 Club Sedan all the linkage under the hood was chromed and rusty,

since the rods needed replaced anyway I replaced with Stainless Steel and polished them so they look almost like chrome but won’t rust and don’t need polished again. The extra cost is minimal. Jim

[David Stephens]

Good idea Jim.

[Jim Livings]

David,

I did the fuel and oil lines also for all the same reasons. Jim
