What did you do this weekend, well I took the Cab and Bed off of my M-37 Truck that I am restoring I figured it would be easier to clean up and repaint, I prefer working standing or sitting rather then laying on my back and working above me. Engine, Transmission and Radiator were already...

A Red Letter day on the Dish Texas Plantation, I got my M37 Engine running. Engine, Radiator, and Transmission are removed and installed as an assembly, so I figured since I was not ready to install back in the truck, I would make it where I could run it on the stand that I scrounged and...

A little help for my Dodge 230 Engine please, getting ready to put it all back together and budget is getting tight. Some Head Bolts on my Engine have corrosion pits and I would rather not reinstall. Would anyone have any takeout Head Bolts they would be willing to part with? A couple my...

My M37 came with a Distributor made by Superior Magneto Corp. Spec # AXS-1850 Ordnance # G741-7355734. All of the TM's show Distributors made by Auto-Lite so one made by someone else is that a good or bad thing? They should be the same since they are both made to Ordnance # G741-7355734 one...

Thanks to Mr. Charles Talbert at M Series Rebuild LLC my confusion and problem is solved Thanks Charles Charles wrote "When the 2 dots on the sprockets are directly aligned and next to each other, that is TDC on the compression stroke for #6 cylinder. When the dots are opposing each other...

Yes I did the realignment per Fig 88, but once I put everything back together and turn the Crankshaft Clockwise through several times and each time #1 cylinder is back to TDC the Camshaft -0- Timing Mark is 180 degrees from where it was during realignment procedure. Is this correct?

Timing Marks I am confused can someone please help? My M37 Dodge 230 Engine was running fine before I removed it. While engine is out of the truck I removed the Timing Cover to replace the seal and gasket. I noticed when the #1 cylinder is at Top Dead Center the...

Thanks to a Generous Fellow Steel Soldier # 6 Cylinder now has a serviceable piston and rings installed so I can now start engine reassembly.

Bill W That would be great, is there anything engraved or etched on the top of the piston such as .010 or .020 Etc. You see my bores are standard at 3.250. One of the great SS guys has sent me one and when I cleaned off the top it had .020 etched in it and I could not get it to fit into the...

Thanks for your reply, no there was no noise engine was running OK for the little that I have run it, I think the cause may be that the person that I brought the truck from said that It had been sitting for some years, and that the mechanic that he hired had used ATF Fluid a few squirts in each...

When I took down my oil pan of my 1952 M37 I found that someone had carried out major surgery on the Baffle above the deep part of the oil pan. Overhaul Data Tag shows last rebuild May of 1963 Oil Pan exterior was not painted OD Green but a more of a Ivy Green. Could this mean the Oil Pan...

If they are Standard would you be willing to part with one?

I was just going to change Oil Pan Gasket, but they I found two broken pieces of Piston #6. Only #6 has failed all other piston shirts and tops look good. Has anyone ever seen a piston failure where the skirt broke off in two pieces and piston above the broken shirt started to cave in...
