I have an extra Crosley heavy duty crankcase. But it needs to be line bored. I had the bearing caps pinned and just never got around to having the machining done (locally it’s hard to find someone who

Hi Roberto I have a Crosley powered H-mod with an Almquist Sabre body. I’m using a Denso alternator part number 12180-SE. It’s a small, inexpensive, 1 wire unit. I made a simple bracket out of 1/8” th

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” clea

Congratulations on retirement! I have missed your engine work…welcome back. I have had a terrible time finding someone capable to work on our little engines! David Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Hi Seb, The HD crankcases are getting a bit harder to find, but they are out there. I bought my 6.5” clutches and disks from Winner’s Circle (spridget.com), but they list the solid hub as not availabl

I’ve never used a Sprite clutch with a Crosley transmission. I have used Fiat 1200 and Sprite trannys. David Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Yes, the Sprite clutch does not have the same bolt pattern. David Sent from Mail for Windows 10

I use a Sprite 6 ¼” racing clutch with a solid disk. It might be too harsh for the street, but it does not slip. A Crosley bellhousing requires a small amount of work with a rotary file or grinder to

I keep a small bottle of white nail polish in my workshop (has a built-in brush). Each time I assemble/reassemble an engine, I find TDC and mark it on the crank pully (after first removing the old mar

You’re welcome. I’m glad to help any time I can. Crosley folks have always been generous to me with their time/help. David Sent from Mail for Windows 10

I thought, why am I waiting until morning, I’m bored with all this self quarantine stuff, so I went to my workshop and took the pictures. In these pics, you can see the position of #1 cylinder cam lob

No. Both valves are closed, and the lobes are equidistant from their followers (each just touching its follower). I’ll take a picture of this and post it tomorrow morning. David Sent from Mail for Win

When I assemble a Crosley engine, I pay no attention to the timing marks. If you put #1 cylinder on TDC, the cam is set so that the first cylinder’s cam lobes both point downward, and are equally arra

I recently sold my Hmod. The car had done 54 race events without a failure of the rear cork seal. All were done with a Braje sump without a gasket, except the first four events. In the first four even

If this is a race application, the Braje sumps are usually run without a gasket. The idea is to make the lower end more rigid, and a cork gasket interferes with this. Use a silicone sealer on the cran

A left mount starter would have made my life easier. David Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Hi Dave, I do use a soft mount on the Weber. I have never used a support rod on the carb. The stress issue that cracked the Cannon aluminum manifold is handled by the steel manifold, but air leaks had

I assume that you’re talking about the intake manifold (there’s no using the exhaust manifold). All that’s needed is to open the mounting holes a bit and trim the flanges a little. Most people use a C

Seb Fontana designed and machined my adapter. But since the spriget trans and bellhousing are one casting, you want to adapt the spriget bellhousing to the Crosley crankcase. Pictures of mine are atta
