taking SC apart - questions

Posted by riverbend on December 22, 2006 at 16:43:49 from (208.160.34.197):

I'm in the process of rebuilding the motor on my '53 Super C. I have questions:

1) the manual says that the main bearing caps are marked for location. Where are they marked ? I have looked them over and cannot see a stamp or punch mark like the rods. FYI The crank is ground 0.010" undersize (rods and mains). That may be related to why the previous owner tried to add a dipstick.

2) The oil pressure gauge does not have wrench flats (that I can see). How do you get it out without resorting to water pump pliers ?

3) Is the rocker arm ratio 1.3:1 ? The IH manuals from binder books don't seem to cover the SC. A, AV, B, BN manual gives valve lift at 0.261". Camshaft lift for the later motors (F140, F240, etc.) looks to be 0.240". I&T is silent on the matter.

Thanks

Greg
