Yesterday I cranked my 49 8N for the first time after major overhaul. It runs exceptionally well! I can't believe how easy it cranks compaired to before. The adjustable lifters are quiet. I am well pleased with the outcome so far. Did most of the work myself(other than machine work). Had block vated, new sleeves, pistons(3 ring), rings, valve seats,valve-guides, valves(with free rotating exaust valves)oil-pump rebuild, crankshaft polished and new bearings. I replaced front axle bushing, rear axle seals and break-shoes, adjusted stearing gear box, replaced drag link ends, repaired some rusted out spots on hood, treated rusted underside of hood, cleaned gas-tank, and painted original red and gray with acrylic enamel with hardner. I have spent a lot of time and money on my 8N overhaul/restoration project and it is not completed yet, but I have really enjoyed working on it and tinkering with it. I have also enjoyed this discussion board(I am a new-comer). I have researched the archives many times since I have discovered this forum. Thanks All! Rick(Ga)
