My boss bought a hammer that looked much like that Doyle. And he was showing us just how great he thought it was going to be, so he was going to pull a coated nail out out of a stud, and the handle broke off just below the head. We just couldn't stop laughing. He bought a titanium hammer after that fiasco

A lot of cast pieces will have casting part numbers that identify which mold they came from and have no relation to the finished sizes. "new style" rods as I recall have studs with bronze locator pins (compression fit) and serrated flange lock nuts in the rod cap , while old style rods were precisely located with matching "puzzle piece" indents and used fine thread bolts and hardened flat washers and lock washers through the cap and into the rod . new style came about as the old style was prone to the bolts coming loose and eventually stripping the threads under repeated thermal expansion cycles.. Much like many carburetors might share the same casting part number, but their final part number and specs will vary depending on their jetting and linkages, etc... I'd never rely on a casting part number to identify a part for a specific purpose .. Much like the K301-K321 rods which have the same stroke, they'll have the same casting part number, but the rod part number itself may vary depending on the oil dipper configuration and finished bore diameter...

I have been messing about with an axe from the farm that was always around the place. That hickory handle has a shape and a feel you just cannot find today. The tool I used to clean the head is a harbor freight poly brush of which I do not remember the proper name.The two small he ammers looked pretty rough so about five minutes of cleaning the heads with the tool and then heating the wood with a torch to blacken it ( in stages so it does not dry crack) and then scraping and sanding it makes them into really nice hammers. After light scraping and sanding the blackened surface you can wet sand with linseed oil to turn the black into a chestnut reddish patina that's just beautiful. The larger ball peen hammer has the original crap varnish from the factory. The two framing hammers were signed up with the tool as well as the Doyle titanium which is a challenge. The cut down one is what I wanted for a bench hammer and body hammer. Those were both Harbor Freight and I reshaped the heads to smooth out the lines. Optional step is to run many coats of Danish oil into a scraped and sanded hickory handle and then sand it down flat and start the hand rubbed coats of linseed oil. The old gunstock guys would often use abrasive rotenstone in with the hand rubbing to polish the wood to a higher sheen. Thus is to no great purpose except to practice wood and metal finishing for other projects. I like the fact that oil finishes do not require anything special in dust free or temperature control. The tool gets into small corners and is s not prone to catching or throwing bristles. I stock up on them during thirty percent off on all items under ten dollar sales at harbor Freight

Methinks the Casting Number for the STD and the .010 undersize rods May be the same - just depends on the big end finished bore size??

A few years ago my parents bought a brand new vehicle for my mom when she retired. They did a custom order and got it with the stop/start delete, took $50 off the price.

if it fits you'll be fine, remember the oil hole on the rod cap faces the cam.

Great news Richard, See ya in June. -
I bought a piston with rings kit and a connecting rod for my 416-8 which has the K341s 71371 engine. The connecting rod is where my confusion comes in. The box part number is "45 067 23" . That part number corresponds to a rod being .010 under to fit a turned down crankshaft, which is what I wanted. The casting though on the rod itself is "47 059 07" and when I looked that number up, it came back as a standard size replacement for a couple of different engines and then in one post the poster started that rod number is .010 under. Also as to the connecting rod it is my understanding that there is a "old" style rod and a "new" style rod, I think one being thicker then stock? The "45 067 23" should be "old style"? This piston is not standard but rather .010 over. The part number on the box for the piston and rings is "45 874 03" Code 748, there is no S at the end. The casting inside the piston has the numbers, 4507456 on one side and B3042 on the opposite side. On the top of the piston is stamped .01 and in a faint black ink stamp is 4507458. The rings that came with the piston is part #4510807 Looking up these rings, they are also .010 over, so all of that should be fine I believe. Thanks for your help.

Man, we've got some bad ju ju going on in our Mo. location. Earlier this year, we had a sewer backup in the basement. Clearing that,we discovered a broken sewer pipe. Repairing the pipe required removing 1/2 of the deck. Next trip, I discovered that the air conditioner compressor had died - it is late enough in the year that this does not need immediate attention. This trip, the '72 Chevy truck does not start. 0 volts on the battery. Installed a new battery. Still no action with the key. Then it hits me. I found the driver's door unlatched and the vent windows open when I walked up to the truck - odd, I was pretty sure I had closed it up a month ago the last time I used it. Then I noticed some speaker wires hanging that didn't used to. A closer look revealed 4 wires with spade connectors hanging under the dash. Right behind the ignition switch. The engine cranked when I bumped 2 of them together. SOMEONE TRIED TO STEAL MY TRUCK! That truck does not start right up after sitting idle for a while. I know the starting procedure, so I'll bet the attempted thief cranked the battery dead and didn't get it started. I've got to wire the ignition switch back up. Then I'll move the truck next to the house and implement some things to make it harder to steal. Yup, I filed a police report. They won't be able to do anything, but they said they would increase patrols through our neighborhood. Description and plate number are in their records now.
