Great Job! I have a Model K that is in need of some serious repair. You give me inspiration to start that project!!

Thanks for the comment @enjundoc. I caught a glimpse of your Stover model K on your 2024 Channel Update video. Your channel is my favorite when it comes to these engines and I look forward to seeing yours running. My model K is one of the easiest starting engines I have.

Ok cool! Yeah I just started the search for gears. The cream separator gear is totally gone down to the hub and the cam gear has broken teeth. Seems these stovers had serious dental issues!!@@Old-Engine-Dude

This video displays your experience and talent for repairing these engines. It was also a very well done video that I'm sure has taught a lot of your viewers. Question: The babbitt bearing you used to repair the cam gear shaft looked like a partially turned used insert. How did you make that repair?

How did you repair/fix the cam bushing

@Old-Engine-Dude Жыл бұрын

I wanted to maintain the exact position of the cam, so I made a thin wall bronze bushing then flapped the inside of the original babbitt bearing until i had a slight press fit and epoxied it in for assurance. After it cured I drilled a lubrication hole thru the new bushing using the original hole as a pilot. I had to drill & tap the end of the cam nearest to the cam gear then used a washer larger than the shaft of the cam and a bolt to hold it all in place.
