Don't know the history of a lot of these engines; don't know how long or how well it's run with the bearings in there. You can't even figure the last guy replaced everything. I know I've repaired engines without rebuilding them, depends on the problem and the budget.
I have a 2N out there that has always (5-yrs I've known it) had low pressure but the rope seals aren't leaking at all. Makes me think something wasn't done right the last rebuild because I expect to see the seals leaking on a worn engine.
I might end up getting parts miked but I figure plasti-gage will tell the tale. I should know this weekend or next week.

Hi fellers. In my old 2n, the camshaft was the loose fitter. Even with new bearings and rebushed oil pump, the camshaft is what it is--no bearings--just the shaft running in the bored block. Anyone know how to "tighten up" the clearance? Knurlizing, maybe? Anyway, I think that's the reason for a lot of low pressure claims. Chris h (IA)

 I think you're right. in reply to ChrisH, 09-15-2004 19:01:11  
I've seen some discussion about that camshaft, oil pressure, and retro-fitting bearings. I don't know anything about knurling. Sounds like a way to go though; a lot cheaper than retro-fitting bearings.
