Ok, at the risk of asking a dumb question, what would you use to put that nice crimp in the retaining cap? I'd imagine there originally was a press or a tool of some sort that put the crimp indents in

Thank you!

Jim, Yes, we sandblasted them well and used J-B Weld to repair the bores and also the inlet and outlet spigots. When necessary, we would sleeve the spigots with tubing and secure it and build the

Thanks David

Steve, that is the bearing that I am speaking of. How did you determine the correct clearances? Guess I could measure the one that came out of it but how do I know that it is right or not. This is the

I race a Crosley powered H mod and I change bearings once a year. With a new set of main bearings, the crank will be very hard to turn. I sand the thrust flange on the rear main until I get .004”

I ran into the same problem if you are speaking of the thrust main bearing (the one with the flanges). Spoke to Butch when he ran Service Motors and he had never had or heard any customers have this

What, if any, should the clearance be from the outer face of the rear main bearing to the crankshaft counter weight. I have a new set of bearings and when you lay the crankshaft in the crankcase and

Thank you for posting this Butch, I have two that I want to rebuild and this will help a lot. As regards a pitted bore, I read somewhere-I think on this forum but I can't find it-that you could use

Hi Steve, I read Butch’s reply and it may be that. Here is another possibility that has gotten me. Sometimes a brake line will go bad and swell up internally. When this happens your foot can

Thanks everyone for all the ideas. To answer a few of the questions, it’s a 1950 with 9” Bendix hydraulics. I don’t know if it was just one brake sticking or all. I once had an entire brake

At present I own a ‘49 Crosley wagon, a ‘46 King Midget model 1, and a ‘58 King Midget model 3. I have owned 3 Metropolitans over the years. Each car has their highs and lows. While marketed in

Which one of these four early compact cars would you choose for your Dream Garage?Asking the question would you rather have a Batam, Crosley, Metropolitan or King

SteveI don't see what model Crosley you have but I had that problem with my 1949 Crosley Hotshot with 4 wheel disc (spot) brakes. The problem turned out to be the right emergency brake linkage. It was

Steve, my experience with something like that was not with a Crosley so I do not know if it equates but is worth looking at. On mine the brake pedal was not coming fully up and so the master cylinder

A question: When loading the Crosley, were all wheels dragging or just one? I have had a sticking wheel cylinder that would lockup when the brakes were applied hard but release over time if left

Oops hit the send button and sent a blank message the first time! I second what Butch said. Its probably the little return hole in the master cylinder stopped up or not any free travel in the
