mystery part and piston advice

[stan]

Tim, How are you comming on your 36 four project? My 36 came as a rolling frame and no engine about 25 years ago. I accumulated all the parts needed to end up with a complete engine. I had the cylinders, and heads replated, and they look real good. The assembly of the motor was a struggle, but it's together now hanging on my stand. I just need to figure out how to remove it from the stand and put it in my frame without dropping it. I hope we are having fun. Stan

Hi Stan

Thanks for the words of encouragement. My bike came as a rolling frame and dismantled motor. I am struggling for information on crank drilling (some recommend some say don't do it), exhaust push rod rockers, felt pads in the rocker covers.

See photos of rockers 2 are new with larger cups?

Any idea on which push rods to use?

Help much appreciated

Tim

Tim Seams like everyone has a opinion on crank drilling. I opted not to. I was told if more holes are added in the crank less oil will get to the rear of the crank, and to the clutch bearings. I myself not being a expert on the subject relied on the Indian engineers and their wisdom not to add these extra holes. I needed a rocker, and I found Hendersen Precision made them. The felt pads came with the gasket set I got from Dennis young years ago. They are nothing but a piece of felt about 1/4 in thick. I can send a tracing of mine if you can't find them. You may even try Roy Davies he has a lot of stuff. Stan
