![]() ![]() Once all the machine work was done we assembled the complete engine with all the new parts. The crankshaft was mounted into our crankshaft grinder so we could grind the rod and main journals to the next undersize. The block then went into our Tobin Arp seat-and-guide machine so we could perform the 3-angle valve job machining to the valve seats. The big ends of the rods were resized and reconditioned on our Sunnen rod hone. The cylinder head was put in our Van Norman Block Master so we could surface its deck. The block then went into our AMC surface grinder so we could surface and square the deck of the block. The block was mounted in our Rottler boring bar so we could bore the cylinders oversize before going into our Sunnen CK10 to get the cylinders final and finish honed to size for the new pistons and rings. Once all the cleaning, measuring, and inspection was done we ordered the engine rebuild kit, or masterkit as we call it, so we could then machine everything to the new parts. The connecting rods and crankshaft were put on our DCM Wetmag to be wet magnafluxed for cracks. After the thermal cleaning we put the parts in our Zero shotblaster before performing a magnaflux and pressure test on the engine block and cylinder head to make sure there were no cracks and or leaks. We completely disassembled the engine and put the block, crank, rods, & cylinder head in our Bayco oven to be completely thermal cleaned. This is a Continental F163 flathead 4-cylinder gasoline engine we rebuilt for a Clark forklift. ![]()
