A good quality modern lithium based grease will do the job there are a number on the market,  check the specification on the can if your not sure,  it will say something like 'suitable for high temperature applications'.

Engine block, crank shaft and cam shaft back from machinists cost was £228 (inc VAT) which I though was quite reasonable

Crank and Camshaft pollished up very nicely.  The block bored to +.020 (for NOS W grade pistons) and skimmed. Finished the clean up of the crank case ready for painting with  satin black (high temperature engine paint)

Very reasonable indeed well done you

I'm not sure which engine these valves are for I don't think they are for the GM 270.    The dimensions are the same size as CMP Chevrolet 216 Stovebolt however these valves have double collet rebates instead of the Canadian single rebate,  Blue Flame engine perhaps ?  Identified

£ 85.00 for the full set of six as shown in photos plus p&p anywhere.

Some random bits appearing now:  I'm guessing by the kit it came in with this may be for a Bedford OY ? or more likely QL ?  I can't find a part number on it unfortunately,  good condition, the release spring is fully working just needs cleaning and painting.

Having a clear out and making some space on the racking prior to starting a new project in the spring.

I have a few random jeep parts that are now surplus to requirements that I'll post over the next week or so

First up is a Ford GPW transfer case: no sheared bolts threads are all good, all mounting lugs in perfect condition, I have left it unpainted so that you can see there are no cracks in the case.  Ford cases do not come up very often this side of the pond so save yourself a fortune in shipping and import tax, ideal for a factory restoration GPW or will of course fit an MB should you wish   £120.00

I can take to Malvern on the 19th or will wrap for courier that you provide, or you can collect in person (I'm a long way west) your choice

Real old school machining and craftsmanship Sam,  so many now can only use computer controlled machines. keep the up dates coming it's always a pleasure to see your workmanship

Pete

I also read about this case in CMV the figures being quoted were pretty eye watering.    I suspect company names were not provided for legal reasons however I would be keen to know the details and eventual outcome as forewarned is forearmed   

     Rob

go on Face Book and find this group they will give you chapter and verse on the subject there is some very useful information on there and some very knowledgeable people            WW2 British Army Jeep Research (BAJR)     https://www.facebook.com/groups/424561644379118/

Thanks for posting the filter and pump photos very useful,  I need to replicate these on the D15T at some stage.

Pete

All I will say is from the stand point of someone who could not run a web site of any shape or form I am immensely thankful for those who can and do....... like most club related actives it can be a thankless task...... so once again well done chaps thank you for your considerable efforts.

Pete 

Just found the same problem first page loads fine then next page won't load 

Well done chaps nice to have you back on line thanks for the hard graft

Pete

Not sure if this is any use to you Bob I'm afraid my stock of return springs has been depleted some what by by sons 30cwt, however I have two good used shoe return springs as fitted to Ford or Chevrolet 15A,30,60 & GT

Ford//Chevrolet Part N0 92Y2035

The shorter NoS spring has the part No 7372034 on the stores ticket not a number I recognize

If any use let me know with your address by PM no charge.

Pete
