Found a pin in the oil pan

losthighway8 · Mar 6, 2016

I took the oil pan off and I found this in the bottom. Any ideas what it goes to?

FYI both end are identical.

Also it's a 631 with 134 gas engine

(quoted from post at 17:08:15 03/06/16) Also it's a 631 with 134 gas engine

jus got done replacing sleeves on my 1955 640 with a 134" engine and have the valve cover off. Could not find anything that has a pin like that. Maybe something on the front?

I don't know... I just got done doing a
valve job and replacing head gasket...
There was no dowel pins or any pins in
the top end, for that matter. Thought
I'd clean the oil pan before I fill it
back up and found that. Maybe previous
owner accidently dropped it in there.

governor weight pin?

WayneIA · Mar 7, 2016

On 100 series build after 1958. There are two of them in each governor.

I've never taken the governor apart. What do these pins hold in place? Anyway I can check without disassembly?

Also this 631 was built in 61 if I remember right

Is this pin too small to be one of the timing cover pins?

losthighway8 · Mar 7, 2016

Got a question on the 134 gas engine. Is the governor arm to the throttle linkage supposed to have any play from side to side. Not front to back like it's normal action but side to side? Or is it supposed to be solid?

I found a .22LR case in the oil pan on my '52 8N when I tore the engine down. Lord know how or when it got in there, but there it was. Sorry... It's no help to you, just thought I'd threw it in there.

If your governor is working good, it is still one peace. I'm no good on this computer, so don't know how to post a picture. The Ford parts book on here shows the pins and relative parts. Maybe some one else can help.. There should be very little, if any side play.
