Re: '55 Square Four engine strip.
K147-53 is something of a mystery to me. This is not the oil seal itself, but a thin steel washer which goes on one side of it. The only conclusion I have ever been able to reach as to its purpose is to "tighten up" the oil seal. They are cheap enough and available from Drags or if I reme...

Re: '55 Square Four engine strip.
I have dis-assembled and cleaned my engine, and am now measuring and checking.
I dont seem to have "Oil seal washer" part number K147-53
I am hoping you could explain what it does, and if it is missing, is it a problem?

Re: '55 Square Four engine strip.
Great post Paul, Im very grateful that such a super resource as this forum exists. How on earth did keen owner/fettlers manage before?? Many hours ear wigging on the blower no doubt. Currently struggling to get last drilling plug out. It is a counter sunk hex drive screw, punch pegged. It would not ...

Re: '55 Square Four engine strip.
Thank you for your advice, I hope you will be kind enough to follow on because there are and will be other detail things I need help with. John Bebb kindly sent me his puller/pusher set for the coupling gears. I dont know when the engine was last stripped, the previous owner, a friend, was unaware o...

Re: '55 Square Four engine strip.
Have removed the crank drilling plugs and both traps were plugged. The worst one was blocked almost to the journal drilling.

Re: Banishing Brass Monkeys from the Garage / Workshop.
My workshop is brick built 40'x20', cavity wall, well insulated. A spell of unusually cold weather such as the one we are going through at the moment in the UK brings the temp right down, and I have a kerosene fired warm air heater which blows your hat off if you stand in front of it. Which is fine,...
