    Welcome aboard Travis. I have an M37 230 crankshaft that is cut .010" / .010" I measured one of the rod journals which gave the following reading. 2.052" This is a crankshaft that has some mileage on it. I want to say that your crank is at standard. The factory had tighter bearing clearances...

    Spring steel pieces that clip into the oil drain back holes on the 230ci flat head

    These came on a T245A flat head 230 that I purchased a while back. Does anyone have any information on these parts? I called John from MWM, he said that they were not used on the military engine and may be for a Civi 230.

    M37 Transmission floor boards: tranny hump.

    Was there two different tranny floor boards for the M37? I know that there was a 420 model 4 speed with no synchros on gears 3-4 1950-1955. A 420 transmission with synchros in gears 3-4 circa 1955-1964. The 420 transmission with the synchros is slightly longer.
