I believe I have the Oil Pump Straightened out, but I do have a question.  There are slots on one side of the ball housings, which way do those go?  I am think towards the direction of the flow.  Things were quite gooey and messy when I took them apart so I didn't notice the slots.  I can always take a pic for clarification if needed.

I have also discovered I have a huge issue!!!  I want to paint this beast and to do it correctly I want to remove the Flywheels.  I have removed the Huge Starter bracket and on the side that had the starter and car flywheel attached as a Belt drive.  I was able to get that to come off after loosening the bolts and then using a puller it inched its way off the shaft.

Then I found this as the Gib Key   Ughhhhh!!!  I have tried a few things already, but really need some advice on this.  I have a welder, although I am not the best at it.  I have some nice sized hammers.  I have lots of penetrating fluid and also heat.....  Advice Please 

The Valve Shadows are all black, nothing indented into the pistons.  Thanks for letting me know it's a normal thing.

I drained the oil, that was not a pretty sight, and there is about 3/8" worth of sludge on the bottom of the sump, so of course that is getting a good clean out.  How does the front oil drain pipe get mounted?  I pulled it out so I could clean the screen, and it was totally plugged.  I figure that's why I wasn't getting any oil pressure.   I thought there would be a big nut like on the outside, but in the sump, but I don't see one.

I am having a lot of fun.  I really like doing this sort of thing.  If not Generators, it's old outboards. or old boats, or new boats, or building at my Swamp Camp.  I figure if I stop I will just get old.  I am 53 now, so there are a lot of projects in front of me...LOL

I have begun my cleanup and tear down of this Beast and I discovered it is a 24/2.  I measured across the cylinder and it mics out at 5.11" and 129.7mm  According to the Power Line site that would be there 24/2  It also has the 20" x 4" Flywheels too.

Ok, does anyone know if there are parts available, such as a Gasket set?  It doesn't appear that I will need anything else as this was a complete motor when I bought it.

I never mentioned that I was able to buy this on ebay with a "Buy it Now" for $1199.00 and a trip to Waco, TX and back for a round trip of 1090 miles all on a Saturday...LOL.  I had been saving up for a new single, but when I saw this one I just had to make the move.  I am not sure the value of it, but my plan was to keep it anyways because I just love the look and sound of them!!!

Thanks, I will put the water in the way you discribed.  My neighbor who was there said his Dad who worked on Diesels used it so we gave it a try.  It worked so I was happy just to hear it run, even if just one cylinder so far

I believe they are, but I will ask a friend to crank it over and have a good listen for it.  It seems to get to that point where the compression is high enough to make it fire, but the starter/battery/my arm just cannot get it past that one point where it is about to fire.  My Nephew is a strong young man, so I am going to ask him to come by and crank on this beast some...LOL

I was happy when I found a small part I had noted as missing was found    I was removing some dirt and yuck and I noticed the part.  I was happy.  It is the part on the rocker arm that holds the brass cap so you can apply grease there.  The brass cap was also there.  I was thinking it may be a difficult part to find by itself, so I saved a little time and cash for my further efforts!

I do appreciate the advice by all 

Thanks for the response 38ac.  I am very familiar with Generators.  I have done several re-builds on both Onan and Kohler Generators, so I am very familiar with setting by Hz, but thanks for pointing that out.  The gold generator in the background of the first pic is a recent Kohler build I did.  It has a Lister ST3 on it.  Needed new Rod bearing and a few other things and a good cleanup, runs and generates perfectly!

As you can see from the normal engine grime and stuff on this motor it is, or was a runner for a good while.  My understanding is the man who owned it died and the family was in the process of selling things off none of them wanted or needed???

I am going to continue to get it running today after work and then I can gauge what RPM it is currently set at.  I am with you.  I do not want it running at 1000 RPM.  It will be interesting to see once it fires up.

My plan is to make it look nice, make a cart of some sort so I can at least move it around and go from there.

Yes they are Big!!!  Way bigger than your mind imagines them to be.
