ALOT of torque sitting there.
Looks like a fun little project!

@Jespertichelaar Thanks! Kinda small for eight. Not knocking it, though.
-
@Jespertichelaar Just a little timing knock, no big deal.
-
@TestECull lol, thats funny, but that was a spark knock, not a bearing knock
-
@Jespertichelaar That's good to know. I don't imagine a lower end kit is terribly cheap for such an old engine.

Specs?

@rogerstill71 What do you want to know? It's a 110Hp flathead straight 8 with two valves per cilinder from 1941.
Max RPM is 4000 and it is using a Hydra-Matic transmission.
Carburetor is a Carter WDO Double Barrel.
If you want to know something else I will look it up in the Manual.

Oh it's just the rod bearings, no big deal.

@TestECull Haha I thought it were Rod Bearings but it turned out that the ignition was a bit off.
