Hello,
New to the forum so bear with me. Spelling not to good and sentence structure is a bit off at times.
Please point me in the right direction if some of my questions need to go elsewhere...and I have many as time goes by.
Working on a 1938 Super 8 engine. A one year only engine design. It has had the top end rebuilt twice both suffered from severe cracks and dropped valve seats. Radiator is new. Any ideas?
Is someone reproducing the inside plate for the water jack or does someone have a print of it?
Does this engine us a thermostat?
