Hey all  :D

I have the engine totally stripped down and I have also been working off all of the paint and filler off of the case.  There is lots of filler of course, and i can see some rough grinder, or sander work on the case in places, and not many big inclusions.  Overall not bad.

I am still deciding on how to go about making this engine look real good.  I could sand down the case enough to smooth it, or do the filler route.  Next up are the Flywheels for paint stripping.  My guess is there is a lot of filler on them too.

I am working up a parts list.  One of the fuel pump lobes is wrecked and so it the tapped for it, so those are added to the list.

What is the best way to determine if the TRBs are in good shape?  They appear good still, but I am no expert.

I also noted the name Standard on the bottom of the case.  I am sure this is on a lot of them, but it was cool to finally get a good look at the bottom of this beast.

Thanks for all  8)

Been looking at tons of pics here on the forum and I see that red paint on the inside is really popular.

Is there a reason for this color, historical, or just better to see things in there?

I think this engine sat up a good while given the amount of corrosion I am now seeing on the inside.  That's just adds to the justification of wanting to pull it down to Parade Rest and start over.

I think the light green paint on the inside is from India, but not sure.  I want to look around real well and repaint the inside a different color anyways.

As far as the end lobe that drives the Fuel pump I just drive that out and then take out the bolt holding the main center Cam Bearing and it should all come out...correct?  Any thing special on the Crankshaft removal?

Thanks for all.

What a Fun Project!!!

It's amazing how simple things are, especially once you get those big heavy Flywheels off.  I have taken off the cylinders and the pistons, and plan on removing the crankshaft and Cam tomorrow.  Any special things I need to look out for when removing those items?

Once I have it tore down I will begin working off all of that wonderful India filler...Ughhh!

Here are a couple of pics of my progress.  I know everyone knows what these engines looks like, but it's fun to share.  The Crank Journals look really good to, and do the Rod Bearings, no obvious wear marks.

Crazy question. Which side is considered the Front of the engine?  I want to know so I can understand TDC.

As Always...Thanks!!!

I have a Harbor Freight Vulcan Welder.  It's an Inverter type and runs on 120 and 240.  I currently only have 120 in my Garage so it works well for me.

It's not the usual HF type tool, this was a well thought out welder.

As tight as they were the wedge was not going to make it happen!!

Welding and a big threaded rod was the ticket.  I did grind down the head on the 2nd key so I could weld the rod to it.

I just couldn't let it sit...LOL

I went at it again and re-did the weld, a lot more weld this time and I got it to go!!!  I did whack the threaded rod once everything was all tight and it made that sudden POP!  And I knew it was free.

Both of the wheels are also loose on the shaft, so I just need to get those off using my engine hoist and I can move on.  As far as remembering which is which, the one driving the Genhead has all of the paint wore off but I have a marking kit so I will number them  ;D

Now I can go to my Camp and do other things and my brain will not be wondering how to make all of this happen.

I thought that was the hard side.  The other side has broken two welds already  >:( :)

I am going to soak it with some Breakfree for a couple of days while I go do some work at my Swamp Camp.

Success!!!!! ;D ;D :D :D :) :)

Bigger bolt, stronger tube.  I actually used a real thick wall underground cable plastic pipe.  I found it at a construction site close to my work in their junk pile.  Man said "Sure you can have that"   Yaay


Now on to the other side.  I may just grind that one down too and do it the same way.  Thanks for all of the Amazing Ideas!!

I do like Zydeco Music and actually have some on my phone that can play  8)  I do like beer, and shots of Crown on a fun get together.  I don't drink during the week though.  I have way to much to deal with at work, and it's so much easier not nursing a Hangover...LOL

To the matter at hand...here is what I am left to deal with.  Also I had some steel plate in my Garage and a friend has a big Ban Saw so we cut a tool.  It needs adjusting and I need a bigger hammer, but it may yet work.  If it doesn't I will get the next bigger size Allthread and try that route again.

Well attempt number 1 Fail!!  It broke the All-Thread, but the part that I welded on to the Key is still there and stable.  I left enough space between the end of the All-Thread and the hub to be able to get something behind it like Gib Key Tool. 

I have tried a few things so far, but still no movement.  I am looking to buy a tool, but close to $40.00 (Tool cost + shipping) is a lot for a tool I may only use 2 times, so I am still mucking about in my Garage for something that may work instead.

I am not one to give up easily..believe me, so this too will one day be a fond memory on the journey of my New to me 24/2  LOL

I will take a pic later of what I am now working with and we can round table and throw out ideas  :D ;)

Just how long are the Gib Keys we deal with?

I gathered up all the bits I need to Make this happen...(Power of Positive Thinking ;))  So tonight after work my plan is set.

I will keep you all posted.

I do not have any Anti-Splatter Spray, or Olive Oil Spray so I will go for the old can method to avoid the splatter...
