Hi Lon ; Long time no hear , how's the old AD running ? . @ 12 MPG's , I no longer drive my '49 to work every day . it is now in SWMBO's garage waiting for...
Yesterday (all day) I pulled the old 216 out of my 46 3/4 ton with the shifting lever still attached. As a novice I was nervous about the extreme angle that I...
Hello Jeff & Ole Truckers, Here is what I did to remove the shift lever from my 1951 Chevy 3100's Muncie SM420 four speed: Rooted around my collection of steel...
Jeff, kudos for at least reading the manual!! The "tin cup" retainer at the base of the shift lever removes and installs similar to a tail light bulb. Put the...
Jeff...this is one of those "smack on the forehead" thing. Just push down on the ring and turn it. Comes right off. The handle has little nubs on it to hold it...
Thanks for all the replys guys. I shoulda ask first but Whoda thunk I would have gotten so many responses so quickly. what really bothers me isn't the time I...
Pretty talented bunch here , no doubt . Sometimes it comes loose easy , others you have to fight it . It is possible to simply remove the top cover of the...
What happens if you accidently or stupidly grind off the knobs on the side that holds it in. I was slapping myself in the forehead for sure. Joe 52 3600...
Thanks to everyone for their input and comments. I was able to get the hub separated from the drum today. The heads for the rivets were on the inside of the...

Hey All I replaced the front seal on my 1952 Chevy 216 Engine due to it was leaking. I replaced the timing cover seal and the front seal where the balancer...
If the timing cover isn't very well aligned with the crankshaft centerline, you can get a leak. Did install the balancer before tightening down the cover...
?? the pins are gone ?? . Easy fix : buy a used cover . More difficult fix , try to knock the remaining bits out with a punch and find some hardened pins ,...
Funny thing this thread should come up now ~ As I was swimming in the desert sand yesterday looking for parts , my cell 'phone rings and it's my buddy who...
Assuming you installed the damper before you snugged up the timing cover bolts , there's likely a slight groove worn in the area of the damper where the seals...

Dave, an intermittent oil pressure problem like you describe could be several things. The oil pump pickup screen could be buried in sludge and having a hard...
I agree with Jim on both counts. The 216's do not have alignment dowels to center the seal over the crank snoot. Grooves worn into the balancer seal area are...
The oil pan was clean about 75 miles ago. The oil pressure guage is reading correctly. The engine changes sound when the oil pressure drops. I am thinking that...
Dave, your probably on the right track. The intermittent nature makes me feel there is a problem with the pickup system. Possibly something with the tubes....
Make sure the oil level is correct. The dip stick may not be correct length. Just a thought, sometimes, it is the simple things. Just my Thoughts, Make your...
