Informative, yes, always!!! Enjoyed your video Sr. Love watching you and Toby as you assemble these engines. You're so patient and so informative about each step, why you do this or what you need for that, or do this for now till we get to that later, or whatever. You guys make it so easy to follow along with the process that it's almost impossible to get lost in what your doing. Plus it's on video, so if you don't understand something, you can restart the video as many times as you want till you can understand the process. Great video, and great video series.....

Things like that assembly is when book value on flat rate repairs goes straight out the window,which is about the only use for a flat rate book. IRAN,inspect and repair as neccessary, is literally that. Whatever it takes to get the component right. A few thou here and a few thou there make the difference between a knowledgeable rebuild and a dog's dinner that will leak all over the place. Nice to see someone with background tackling something like that with patience and prior oopsies sidelined.

We always soaked the rope seals in oil before installing them and it always worked good. I like your flat surface for making parts flat again. It is too hard to get up when using the concrete floor for a flat surface.

On those split seals I normally stagger them 1/2" in direction of rotation. I think having only the parting line exposed at the crank versus full width really helps to reduce the chance of leaks.

Almost all if not most of the Soviet engines have the same kind of rear main seal setup as the Farmall dose. And they are very notorious on leaking. Another thing is getting them to seal properly and that can make you use a lot of curse words. This video did teach a few things I can use in the future.

Great video as always. Something I've run into in the least two rear mains I did was the felt seal was far too long. I spent some time making sure it was all pushed into the carrier, but still had about 1/2" on each side sticking out. Had to trim it down (not that it is a big deal). Just something I found noteworthy.

I always thought they used "cast iron" for those rear's. Didn't think they were using aluminum back then, looks like I was wrong on that. Now, do you guys like to put the gasket sealer on just one side or both on those gaskets? I was taught that it kinda depended on the application at hand. My grand dad when he was still alive, he always did both sides regardless. Great video, truly enjoy watching you two work. Cheers :)

Hi Senior, Thanks for taking the time to post the videos of your project, they are pretty awesome and you make it very obvious where Jr. gets it from. I do have a question about the rear main seal housing. For an engine that is a large block of machined cast iron, how in the heck did an aluminum housing make it on this engine? It sort of sticks out like a sore thumb as well being prone to distortion, as you aptly demonstrated. Was this an “improvement” that was added later in this engines life or did they come to the factory like that?

In the days of paper and cork gaskets (cast iron parts), there used to be a sealer called "Shellac", which was made from tree sap and it worked well. I am not sure if it is still available, or is branded under a different name. The new synthetic sealing compounds are also good, depends on the brand. Just a side note, I am sure when Henry Ford built his "Fordlandia" project in Brazil, apart from harvesting and processing tree rubber for the tyres, he wanted to produce this Shellac sealer. It would have been used widely in industry as well. Can anyone throw more light on this. Thank you.

when you were driven the bottom plate on you could see the side of the block spread apart .. you may have need to put that plate in place before titing the seal.

Given the age of that machine, I'm surprised they made that casting out of aluminum instead of cast iron.
@aserta
3 жыл бұрын
Aluminium does cast easier, not only that, but unlike cast iron, it's a bit more forgiving in small...spread out parts. Kinda like the difference between a ceramic plate and an metal plate, if you drop them, one dents, the other shatters. However, it's much more expensive, so they must've had a really big reason to go AL instead of cast.

Just as a curious note; I noticed that the rear main seal plate has no alignment dowls to align it to the block and crank. Would you not have bolted the two halfs together around the crank first and allow the seal two center intself before bolting the plates to the block?

Great job! That rear main seal design isn't too bad when compared with contemporary engines: for example I had a great many dealings with Bedford (General Motors UK) 500 cu.in diesel engines, the seals were made from some sort of asbestos/graphite packing, but fitted into the main crankcase and rear main bearing cap. This meant that if the seal required renewal, the crankshaft had to be removed! So the work got postponed until the oil leaking out from behind the flywheel took on flood proportions. Happy days!
@aserta

14:23 my ignorance might show, but aren't the four seal bolts meant to have bending tabs that lock them to the edge of the casting? Just asking. I could've sworn they were meant to have that, i've only worked with one of these once or twice (there's only so many of them here in Europe), and mostly as a helper.

I'm not certain that aluminum die castings were the best choice for the rear mains. Those flanges that you are sanding down look a bit thin to me.
