    Checking in...been doing some more stitching...my life away...
    It is a B block that has been inserted so I'd like to keep it and use it. Number three son Rodney tried to window the block as he left the scene. I think I got it....I usually am only good for 20-25 stitches at a time. I pushed today and the result was I got the cut off wheel into the block not once but twice...I hate that...oh well some paint, dirt and oil will make them disappear...

    I am using a malleable 10-32 screw...that is what you see in the one picture.
    I had an old hand show me once, he repaired all kind of stuff for the Santa Fe RR at the time and they used him up until he retired. The technique he showed me was to find the crack and drill a hole at both ends of the crack.
    In this instance, I used a 5/32 drill
    Tap the hole using a tap that has a long taper....you have to develop a feel for when the tap is going to break thru the finished diameter...you need to stop just short of that so that the screw binds as it reaches the end of the tapped hole.
    There are products like lock-n-stitch that have a tapered bolt that does the same thing...binds in the tapped hole.
    On things like 855 Cummins blocks that crack between the head stud and water jacket, I've used 1/4" malleable pipe plugs, they are tapered and tighten up or bind in the hole.
    I use Lock Tite 620 Retaining Compound on the end of the screw and run it in the hole, it is green, high temperature and large gap
    I use a die grinder with an abrasive cut off wheel and leave about a thread to a thread and a half protruding from the surface. Then take a small ball peen hammer and peen the material that was left kind of until there is no more surface left on the cut off end of the screw and flared out over the hole.
    Then drill another hole at the intersection of the crack and flare so actually you are immediately adjacent to the screw material that was just placed in the hole...when you tap the hole, if located properly, you will actually tap into the screw material so when you run in the next screw the two are actually mechanically locked together. This also gives the overlapped look of what might be a finished welding bead....or something like that in appearance.
    Repeat.....
    actually drilled, tapped and placed some screws in a couple of places along the crack so that the adjacent material would stay in place as peening can dislocate material surfaces...dependent on the length of the crack.
    Hope I stated this all in an understandable way....

    The only problem is that they sell it thru a Distributor...can't buy it in the chain stores or such

  26. Weather has been fairly crappy so I decided to install the Riley that I purchased last year. Pulled my Winfield motor over the Turkey day weekend. 4 port fell right in place. Just need to button up a few odds and ends and were back on the road. 20191208_124759.jpg

  28. Checking in, bringing back a topic from last month:

    Is it the pin hole in the cam gear, that's different from A to B? Or why the difference?

    Would it not be best to tune ignition by use of vaccum meter?

    The B distrib did not have a lever to change the advance, it had weights and springs........ so the cover pin location was changed to set the static distrib timing.
    Thank God they did not just move the pin detent location on the gear.
