I wouldn't worry too much about the date code as long as it has an engine number beginning with C which was for 1940. If it begins with D, then it is indeed a 1941 engine.

Curious if you would recommend the same type of oil for the my Houdaille shocks.

Anyone have info on this car? There is a guy on Facebook with the original warranty brochures for it that he got at a swap meet.
Last info I can find anywhere is Stuart's article: it was extant in "good" condition as of 1987. 'Twas a while ago but the Caribbeans don't have much of a habit of disappearing, so maybe someone knows a guy. Actual photo below.

Typically the cam bearings do get smaller toward the rear which allows for easier assembly.

Yesterday I pulled the cam from my 356. While I didn't measure anything, I did notice the cam journals step down from front to back. Are you looking for journal diameters?

Saturday evening, I took apart the engine. It wasn't stuck which made things a bit easier. Most of the top rings were broken. It will need over bore due to ridge and cylinder taper. While I haven't yet checked for cracks, the block looks pretty good for rebuild. Wow, what a chore on taking out all the head studs.
This engine is a 1941. The sales day of this 1940 160 coupe was on 10/12/39. I feel a bit of desire to find an earlier 356 with a date appropriate for this 160. Maybe I shouldn't worry about it, but I am at the crossroads now before I invest in this 41 engine. Attach file: engine 1.jpg (208.25 KB) engine 10.jpg (185.71 KB)

Wow, awesome. My 160 coupe project is about the same status. Do you have a projection of completion?
