Good evening,
I have been working on an 1920 Excelsior engine from parts for years some of you have helped with when I was a member 20 years ago. I have more time on my hands now and would love to complete it.
I have questions on some parts.
I need a cam cover and I see some with one hole for cam stud bolts and some with three holes. Besides that, do they interchange? Because I would take what I could get and does not need to be perfect.
I need a crank pin for the connecting rods and I am wondering if it is supposed to have oil holes because the flywheel has a hole? I would take one not perfect since this would not be run much. I have half a frame and tank and wheels and plan to build a fake racer or just display the engine.
How wide should an assembled crank be measured across the flywheels at the crank pin if I need to make one.
Does the connecting rod have shims between the flywheel? I do not see a part number but saw pictures of parts the look like that.
How thick is the bushing flange on the right side? I need to make a bushing it is missing.
What is the length and wire diameter of the exhaust springs? I have one that came with the parts and seems long and would compress a lot to install and seems like a lot of load. It is almost 3" long.
Please let me know what you know or if you have a crank pin or cam cover.
Thank you,
Scooter
