Im picking up a batch of oem knuckle stuff tomorrow. Rocker boxes, heads, cam covers and so on. In the batch is an STD case plus what I assume is very nice repop knuckle cases, oem oil pumps, lifter blocks etc. Along with the std case is what he referred to as a big bore kit which has H beam rods and billet barrels.

Here are the barrels and rods, can anyone tell me anything about them? Make? Quality? Application?

 

Here's the stuff Im interested in out of the batch

 

Those jugs never worked street use as they got too hot - the rods were Dixie import copy of Carrillo rods - nope

the knuckle dash could be a copy maybe cant tell the definition in it with no angles also the side screw hole is at the wrong angle

the knuckle heads have had seats put in them and looks to be a good job as they were used after that - usually stupid people back a ways would then port them and it looks like they were left alone - AND the diving boards are in tact the effen morons were not involved WOW COOL THING THAT IS — they chrome rocker boxes were really polish and they removed a bit more of the metal then i like

 

Just got back with the parts. The rocker boxes are not chromed, they're polished. Some are pre-38, others are late 30's and early 40's. None that are correct for my 46 but Im not complaining.

The cam covers are 3 knuckle and one late 48 pan with the solid cast oil line hole.

 

I believe this pump is 1941 only.

 

Flat top set on the left is early knuckle but since they look new its safe to say they are. The other two sets have harley casting numbers.




Bottom right cover is late 36-39



Speedo on left is a police special with the unit on the side to hold the speedo needle.

 

This single rocker box has no casting date and no bosses around the oil fitting holes like the 1938 version. I can't find anything that discusses that detail. Its 36 to before may 38 though.

 

I need the right side green speedo for a job

the 39 pump had a straight screw - will pull out my real 41 pump and post a picture is also a one year visual

 

39 had the straight screw but an extended boss like an ant hill I thought and 41 early 42 was machined flat.

 

Agree with John on those rods, they were thing some years back and not a very good one, still have a bare set somewhere.
