The double yoked item is for the clutch linkage. The spacer looks like a tube shock insert, but it's hard to tell without some size reference. Butch Virus-free. www.avast.com

Seb, Yes, the rear seal bore can be modified to use the automotive rear seal. Email me, and we'll discuss it. Butch

Raymond, correct, that dashboard is NOT for any Crosley. A photo of the radio would help identify it. Butch Virus-free. www.avast.com

Raymond, That is the CASTING number, on the cast iron block, the engine number is stamped on the aluminum portion (the crankcase). Butch Virus-free. www.avast.com

In the earlier style crankcase, with the rope type seal, yes, the crankshaft needs to be dropped first. On the late style crankcase, with the neoprene seal, it does not. Butch Virus-free. www.avast.co

No, most of them had the bolt, rather than the stud. You will find that the hole in the pulley, is larger than the pulleys set up for the bolt. As for repair, it can be center drilled, then drilled an

Not a tin block (COBRA), but it is a cast block (CIBA). The rings and the valves remain the same. Butch

No, those were the COBRA (tin) blocks. Same bore though, although some of those used shorter, 3 ring pistons. Butch

The cylinder bore is 2.500, the piston is approximately 2.496 or 2.497, at this moment, I neither recall nor have a reference. Butch

My general practice is, use the mid spec as my low limit and add 0.002 as my high limit. Loose valves are noisy, tight valves burn. As negligent as many Crosley owners are about maintenance, error on

Yes, those are NICE, as they allow you to remove the distributor from the top, without dropping the oil pan. They use an aluminum adapter, to go from the distributor size shaft, to the oversize hole.

Nope Jim, same size hole, they are interchangeable. Be aware, the tune up parts, for the large distributor, are MUCH more expensive than the more common, small distributors. I believe that they were u

One good way is, with the piston down in the cylinder, stuff the cylinder full of rope (about 1/4 to 5/16" diameter) then rotatge the crankshaft until it stops. Then proceed as normal. Butch

Yes, at TDC, the valve stem will still be in the bucket well. ButcH

Tilden, The fuel pump can be difficult to install and it is possible to install the arm incorrectly, not easy but possible and damage WILL occur. While carefully feeling the lobe on the back of the ca

Mike, I'll try to answer all of your questions, in one reply. There are several different versions of oil pumps used in Crosleys, as you've found out, at least one version has no bushings and is prett

There is?? a Larry Fissette, in Depere, WI. That is the only one, that I know. Butch

Yes, they unscrew, at least part way. I don't recall if the originals were totally removable or were locked.

The first block, with the flanges on it, is a standard Cast Iron block, interestingly modified to cross-flow configuration. The second block, with the tubes on it, is an early, transition/conversion b
