Well, it was a fun time, lots of work, but I finally got the 1948 Ford 8N rebuild done. New sleeves, rings, pistons, main and connecting rod bearings. The old rings were shot and installed improperly with huge end gaps. Plus, they were chattering all over, no wonder I had 70psi vs 120. New plug wires, and all new wiring, and we're good to go.
Here's a pic before of the motor...
Here she is after...
And a full side shot...
Started er up last night and it ran great. Have a few minor issues, but all in all a great success, thanks to Travis and Frank down the road. I figure I'll hand it down before it dies...Can you believe it, 60 years old?
