Here he comes to save the day!
I built a stand and fired up the flathead today.
Its a 49-53 ford block and intake with a Merc crank and heads.
It sat outside for a couple months and it had rained slightly once.
I pulled one head and measured the stroke.
I noticed that the #2 intake valve was open and signs of water in that cylinder.
I cleaned it out and put the head back on and fired it up.
It ran but no compression in #2 and #6 cylinders.
These cylinders are across from each other.
I havnt taken the intake off yet so I dont know whats going on down there with the cam and valves.
You who are so wise in the ways of flatheads, what do I do now?
I also got the top loader 3 speed (torque tube) with it.
Can you tell me about that.
Thanks as allways-
