Wow nice work, thats the first time I seen a V - 8 flathead torn down.
Of course I am not a flat head guy, but it locks cool anyway. I have always been curious
about how the valves worked in them, so I guess I'm getting my first lesson.
HE! HE! HE! Kurt
Do you have and speed equipment for the 337? Just curious as I know it's hard to find. It's definitely a cool looking engine. I've been a flathead man since the early 50's.
Well Kurt, it would probably really blow you away that the exhaust comes out the top on these ol' Caddies then........eh?Quote:
