Come on people!! Aren't we supposed to be gearheads!!??!! Don't you guys know a flux capacitor when you see one??
Cuticle tool. Some bonehead was probably using it to hold open the butterfly and dropped it. I imagine as soon as he did that, didn't feel like tearing the engine down again and shelved it.
Here is my guess its one of two wire handles for cutting windows out, I have a pair but there not as nice as that. You would wrap the music wire around the center in the slots and then again on a second one so you had something good to hold wile you saw out the window with wire.
A little girl was looking at the GI Joe dolls in TRU one day. A salesgirl asks her why she's looking at GI Joe, since Barbie dolls come with Ken. The little girl looks up at her and says "No, Barbie fakes it with Ken. She COMES with GI Joe."
It's a push rod from the UFO that crashed in NM years ago!!!!!! It's been around for some time, I guss there's no UFO NUTS on here.
Your engine is one of the highly industrial specialized flatheads marketed by KRW in the early '50's; You have the jeweler's model. You will find that it has iron pistons, each different. You have the lathe-turned blank for a wrist ID bracelet, a popular 1950's piece. The piston below that runner will prove to be flattop, designed to take the turned part and reduce it to flat, ready to drill and put on a loop of chain. Other pistons will offer herring bone, crosshatch, and knurled stamping patterns, and #1 will have a groove for letter/number stamps. The jeweler had merely to drop his piece of silver down the right runner for the next job, start the engine, and then go to lunch while the apprentices removed the head and extracted the piece for the next step. It was hailed as a revolutiuonary labor saver, but was oddly unpopular.
This seems to be a reasonable answer. I bet if he checks the intake runners he'll see similar gouges where it rattled around for years.
I don't think he is trying to find out how it is spelled. This is a Hot rod forum not a online dictionary.
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]It's a Fetzer Ah, come on guys it's so simple! Maybe you need a refresher course - it's all ball-bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some Three-In-One oil and some gauze pads. And I'm gonna need about ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No... no make that Quaker State. [/FONT][/FONT]
I'd say a piece of threaded rod used to mount an air cleaner??? The ends are too symmetrical to be made by rolling around and there are threads that appear to be worn down....
This is the one I use now two bad you didn't have two it would be a cool addition to my old tool collection
I'd have to agree with the guy that said it was used for cutting something like winshield gaskets. It looks a little old to be doing that though. I'd imagine if it looks like that ALL the way around with nothing but a smooth tip on the ends, that it would've had a wire wrapped around the middle and that piece would be the handle. Now what it was used to cut is the real question... cheese... cork... who knows lol... this is really starting to get on my nerves though. Could it be a wax cutting tool, or clay cutting tool?????? I want to know what THE HELL THIS THING IS! haha...
its an alien tracking device , you fucked up now will smith will see you soon , or maybe he already has seen you!
