The old man does good work but the kid just rubs me a little wrong, wants to be a YouTube star, buying fancy CNC equipment and 3D printing stuff that just doesn’t need doing… I will be into some sleeve work soon, pops brought one of our 1939-1940 9n’s into his shop for restoration. He pulled all the sheet metal this weekend getting it ready for a quick sandblasting. He’s going to pull the motor and we’ll tear that down at my shop. I have piston/liner kits ready to go and I’ll grind the valve seats, might have to send the crank for a grind though. We should have at least one N series crank ground in stock but I haven’t seen it in years… this tractor is getting all our oldest parts, should be neat build for guys interested in old N’s. 2 Quote
AngrySailor Posted October 12 Author Posted October 12 Here’s the plugs from the 598… might be NGK knock offs, notice how they’re “fluffing” the plug, leaking past the body and porcelain… they were new out of the box only ran 10-15 mins and the motor is squeaky clean, that’s leakage… Quote

AngrySailor Posted October 18 Author Posted October 18 42 minutes ago, Gearclash said: Why is the crank in the lathe? Using a blower drive hub instead of a harmonic damper and the hub was shorter than the damper so the crank protruded beyond the hub and would require a custom recessed washer to allow the balancer bolt to clamp it all to tight. Easier to shorten the crank snout by about 1/8” now than make a special washer. I’ll post pics tomorrow but I got my arm twisted for a cold snack at the legion… 2 1 Quote
AngrySailor Posted October 19 Author Posted October 19 Ready to assemble the short block. Rod clearance smack dab at 0.003”, just gotta gap the rings and send them slugs home. Mangled my thumb and pointer finger putting them 🤬spiro-locs in… you just get good at them right around 28-30 of 32… 4 Quote

AngrySailor Posted October 27 Author Posted October 27 My friend traded a $700 ski-doo for this engine… all he knew was it had edelbrock Victor Jr. heads and “would never run right”… lol it’s a 4 bolt block, SCAT 383 rotating assembly, roller cam, comp stainless rockers… ring gap was wrong, broke 2 pistons and unfortunately cracked a cylinder but the block is easily replaced. He made out like a bandit on the parts. Those rockers are almost $700USD alone lol. You can see how tight the ring gap is in the one pic, KB hyperbaric need 0.026” on that bore, I’d like to measure that when we get it apart but it hardly looks to be 0.016” which would be the minimum on old school cast pistons… also the guy who assembled this must have thought he could glue it together with silicone… 3 Quote

jeeper61 Posted 12 hours ago Posted 12 hours ago You might be safe in 2027 The new leadership will stop us from sinking those "fishing " boats. They will likely let Maduro go and pay him resition for the boats cause they need cheap coke on Martha's Vineyard. 1 Quote
