Looks like it is going to be a fun build!

Just cleaned 50 years of grime off the tins to get them ready for paint.

And changed the boots and gear oil while the engine is out.
The block should be ready by the weekend and I'll get it out back together.

So I decided to have my engine rebuilt because I wanted to drive the car daily. I know my grandfather had it rebuilt before but I don't really how long ago. I'm so glad I did. My builder sent this pic to me today. It was only a matter of time.
I should have the case back next week and I'll start putting it back together and get it back in the car.

Why didn't you or your builder fix the three missing oil sump studs? Best time to do them is when the case is split.

Using bolts there means you have to take them out and in every oil change which increases the chance that the soft threads in the case will be damaged.

Also, why do two of them have a large flat washers instead of crush washers? Looks like they may be prone to leakage.

Good point! I don't know why he didn't. I'll ask him. I'll at least change the washers when I get it. Probably look into changing the studs out. Thanks for the good eye!!

^^^^61SNRF.....

Is it a problem to replace oil sump studs without splitting the case? I had just purchased a few from WW and thought it was a simple remove and replace (I have a couple of bolts like Yorvo).

Thanks.

There's a YouTube video I found showing how to do it. This I assume is for if the threads are stripped.

Not so much a problem per say, just less of a challenge.
-If you need to do any repairs on those threads in the case, easier with a clean and dry engine on a stand flipped over upside down. That way you can drill and tap as much as needed and blow out the chips without oil dripping down your arms.
-The LocTite you install the studs with will have a much better chance of curing properly.
-If you have any "bolts" in there from the inside out that were installed when the case was apart, not sure how or if you can get them back out once assembled. Nothing wrong with using bolts this way as long as they are the right length and are secure and LocTite'd into the case. Any exposed external thread damage to them though and you may be faced with taking the case apart to remove and retrieve, not only that but the case threads will be damaged too if you have to force them back out from the inside.
-If you have a later case that uses one longer stud with a nut on the inside to secure the oil pick-up tube, for sure easier to fix any issues here when the case is split.

Nice work! How did you prep the tins for painting, and what did you use for paint??

I used a degreaser from Autozone and a wire brush and a razor knife to get most of the grime off. It had 50 years a grease caked on. Then I sanded them down to get the rest. I painted with a Hammered Rustoleum that was recommended here.

Note to help the next guy reading this :
Use easy off oven cleaner to clean dirty engines/transmissions/tins .
Use the smelly stuff " Fume Free " doesn't do nearly as well . The oven cleaner works just as well on cold metal .

Great tip! Sure wish I would have know. I still have more stuff to clean up though!

Getting my exhaust ready for coating and I find one of the pipes was broken off. Looks like I'm getting new ones. I'll guess I'll get new clamps and stuff too. Any suggestions?

Just got my block back from my builder buddy today. I'm pretty excited. The exhaust and heater boxes are at the powder coater and I'm waiting on an order of miscellaneous stuff from Jbugz and I'll start putting it together.

Got these back from the blaster today. He ran out of sand before he could finish the other heater box. I can't complain I'm trading our work for it. lol. I get that Monday and it's time for paint.

I got my JBugs order yesterday and I'm rounding up a few more odds and ends here locally and I should be getting the engine assembled and back in this week. Good days ahead!

New tar boards and compartment seals. Not a perfect job but I'm making a custom firewall to cover the back.
