Main cap question ford flathead
Just noticed in my gasket pack it mentions placing a rope segment in this cap however my end cap looks different to the manual in that it has two grooves rather than one ? The rope won't fit in ??? Is this for a different style main cap ?
Also notice the threaded hole, is there anything that needs to go in to this hole or is it just a drain ?

Hi Richie,
You can post a maximum of 5 pics. You have to upload them one by one though. When all 5 are uploaded you insert them. Cheers mate,

Looking at it, the hole appears to be a drain but why have it threaded ?

Richard, your motor has a slinger on the crank. It does not use a rope seal. It can be modified by grinding the slinger from the crank, and installing a different seal carrier.
The thread is for a drain pipe.

I think they all have a slinger on the crank but some models had twin slingers and used no wick seal. I have an idea it was late '30s motors but not sure.

Paradise and Apple... That's where it all went wrong for the first time...
 Dump it and buy a Samsung. That's what I did.  Cheers,
