Re: How fast can I drive?
Hi ews Interesting question, and give German roads, it becomes more of a question of what is a safe maintained speed, in retrospect even the Lincolns of the early 50s could and did race at speeds of 100+ MPH. Then it was often the tires that were the limiting factor, how long would the tires handle ...

Re: Radiator cap overflowed
Hi If fluid is being pushed out around the cap and the hoses are looking inflated you might want check that the overflow line or the overflow tank vent are not plugged. I have had mud wasps plug the end of vent tubes, result lowe radiator hose blew off dumped all the coolant very quickly. Cheers Phil

Re: 49 engine valve removal/replacement
Hi Steve Not knowing any better I just used my valve removal tool that I've been using for 50 years. No problem, just clamp down and remove the clips, have a magnet handy to retrieve them when they pop off. Occasionally one needs to be poked a little to make it come off. 49 Linc SC 1-10-13 003.jpg I...

Re: 49 engine potential questions
Hi Steve
On all the engines I've sent out for machine work I've had the engine clean checked cracks and measured up. Then if they need to be bored had them start boring at the next available size. Only when their sure they have good bored are the pistons ordered.
Cheers Phil

Re: Fuel line diameter - does it matter?
I wonder with the lower fuel mileage of ethanol containing gas if the flow rates get more critical. Particularly if there is any kind of restriction or reduction of flow.

Re: Flywheel dowel removal
Hi Steve Well you answered your own question before I could look at the engine and crank dowel. I was trying to figure out why you thought they had to be removed. Sorry for not responding quicker but my engines are in cold storage, in the loft of the shop. Work in my shop is on pause for the last we...

Re: Oil change frequency.
Hi My rule of thumb for low mileage vehicles is once a year, when you say you are starting them regularly I assume you are letting them long enough to really get them up to operating temperature for a long enough time to boil the condensation out of the engine and oil. It also depends a lot on stora...
