Valve Train Oil Flow

[brian]

top end really doesnt need much oil.....not saying the bushings arent junk now.

 

[brian]

Well guess what, Cruiser Parts.net sent me a 1 F head, I am F%$#@* Pissed.

They are nice people, just wish we both saw this before the frustration.

i wish you the best, but my experience with them it that they are incredibly stupid(unlikely) or out to rob people blind and dont care how they go about it.
my bet is since you have had this head for a while, and installed it, and drove it.....they are going to give you a big fat high one...no matter that they sent you the wrong part in the first place...i do hope they prove me wrong, but i'm not holding my breath.

Now I’m a bit confused, but that’s easy for me. You installed a 1F head on a 2F and therefore have had no oil to the top end, for how many miles (at least a 1000)? And it didn’t blow up?

I guess I'm that good... I am Pissed at myself and Cruiser Parts. The are good people, but That was an expensive part...

I dont take shi%$# from people lightly. Especially when it comes to my cars. Maybe I should have seen it, but they told me it was a 2F. Like I said, hell is coming to breakfast! They need to work with me. We'll see! Thanks man

 

[brian]

it is a 600XX part numbered head? and not a 610XX head correct?

 

[Boaf 32]

I am not sure about that. This is the message from my order that I exchanged with CruiserParts.net. Right from my order!!!! I hope they work with me, don't want to go to Better Business Beauro. It's just not right business to ship what was not requested.

[Boaf 32]

@brian , just making sure that the 2F head has the the oil passage way in the 3rd pedestal. I am ready to go to battle with CruisrParts but want to be absolutely sure about 2F head. Thanks man.

Looks like a 600 #

 

[Steamer]

Yep. That ain't no 2F head.
No oil hole in pedestal #4 (from front)
No raised hump going from head bolt to pedestal #4 (which is the oil passageway)
No galley plug. (leftover from drilling out that hump)

What a shame. Hope you get it sorted.

Hope so, thanks. Only went 100 miles, not 1000, fat fingered the key board.

 

[Steamer]

Where abouts in Florida are ya?

 

[Boaf 32]

SW near Ft Myers. Opposite side of the island.

 

[Steamer]

Ah, ok. Just thought I’d mention if you needed any work done there’s a shop in Davie that specializes in head rebuilding. I plan on taking my head there one of these days. They get good reviews and are known for quick turn arounds. And best for me it's not a bad drive to avoid shipping. “Cylinder Head Depot” Hopefully you don’t need them but ya never know.

Well they are trying to work with me. They started telling me that I put the head gasket on backwards. Really??? So sent him pictures of the head that came with the truck (Clearly 3 holes on Pedestal 3 and oil flowing), and the head that they sent me, no 3 holes, He did bring up that he thinks the casting numbers on the block indicate F motor. The oil filter is clearly on the passenger side...

 

[brian]

Yeah just show them the engine serial number which will start with 2F..and a 600xx casting number is an F head.

Thanks. I have a re-casted block, but has a 60032 number. No S/N though stamped in the correct location. But you can tell just by looking at it. Aghh, management needs to come from the ground up, not with a piece of paper. Nice folks but should have sent what I asked for!!!

 

[Steamer]

Are you saying there are no numbers stamped here? They can be faint, rusted or painted over and may require some wire brushing and maybe chemicals to see them.

 

[Boaf 32]

Correct, Steamer, no numbers, could not see them at all.

All,

However, my faith is restored in Cruiser Parts.net. They are sending me a correct head free of charge. It did take some convincing that they sent me the incorrect one. 600xx vs 610xx. I can understand why. My engine block has a 60032 casting number. But they did not need that when I ordered it. I asked specifically for a 2F. You know when I first reached out, they said the head is correct, the typical responses, the head gasket is on incorrectly, the head is what goes with that engine... But I asked for a 2F and was sent the wrong one.

They did however step up and the 2F should be arriving on the 26th. Not looking forward to doing this job in the parking lot of my apartment complex.

Thanks everyone for helping to clarify the 2F 1F head mystery. Hopefully when installed I will get a video of oil flowing!
