They are getting hard to find, the military demils most of them and throws them into scrap piles. Mine was a barn find and it was pure Irish luck that I ended up buying it for so cheap. I have seen some on epay and every once in a while they show up on here but be ready to empty your wallet for...
Well I finnaly got the motivation to start on the rockers.
Today I pulled the valve covers and took a beter look at them, there was much less rust on the rear set than on the forward. I assume it has something to do with the oil cap leaking or collecting moisture. The rockers beneath the cap...
Okay fellas been a couple months and I was beginning to have Green Iron withdrawals!
Sorry I have been M.I.A but my engine search had not been going to well up until a week ago. Every engine I found was either WAY too expensive, WAY too far away, or broken / leaking from somewhere.
Thank you to...
Sorry to bump an old thread, I'm thinking of doing this conversion. Is the adapter ring for the bell housing already on a Deuce bell housing or do you need to get it somewhere else? What about the starter spacer?

Thought the gasket that came with the 1133 was correct, I suppose a leak would make sense then if it isn't. I will pick up the new gaskets and re-seat the cans sometime this week. That's a good idea to use the pressure washer, I will wash it down before I run it again.
Thanks guys!
Hey Fellas!
Well just finished an oil change on my Deuce about a week ago but today was the first time I had a chance to really take her for a ride.
After the change I ran her for a bit to check for any leaks as well as drops in oil pressure, there were none that I could see (although it was...
