Fred, thanks for posting the photo;
now that you mention it, if you examine closely, both of the gears on the 254 (right one) are aluminum, and apparently the teeth too, based on the color of the metal.
Examining the gears on the 226 (left one, from a 1951 passenger car) they appear to be steel (gear & teeth).
I am going to forward a photo of the head bolts, which are different too, as one might expect.
Also, coming is a photo of the oil pick-up tube strainer screens; one has been thoroughly cleaned and the other you can't see thru it even though it is on a white pc of styrofoam, and it has been partially cleaned. I thought the first one (254) could not have been more clogged, but the 226 was much worse and troubling to clean. What ever type of oil he used must not have been a detergent type! MERCY
TIP: I couldn't get the screen to begin to really make progress, until I soaked it in Gunk Carb & parts cleaner for a couple hours, removed it and used a tooth brush with Palmolive liquid detergent and brushed it gently under luke warm running water. The Gunk loosened it up and the gentle brushing definitely removed quite a bit; now back to the Gunk for a couple more hours and brushing again (I suspect 3-5 cycles might be needed to get this one thoroughly clean). I finally had to resort to a water hose with an adjustable nozzle to break loose the heavy crud on the inside (high pressure), and that was the final trick necessary to achieve perfect results. I now notice a slight rust on the 254 screen (not the 226 screen though), as well as other parts such as valve covers, internal; I may resort to clear-coating all of the sheet metal parts with a clear, high temp paint if I can find it for sale. I hate internal engine rust and greasy crud!! On my way to purchase another 226 today-adios for now! The 226 is from a 50 F1 with a 4-speed tranny; tranny is for sale. The gear lube looks VERY clean. 901 753 1130, Memphis, Tn 38138
