I just picked up my first 226 L6 Flathead. I started tearing it apart to see what I am getting myself into.
This is the H series (1948). I have some questions about it.
How do you get the oil filler tube out of the block? Is it just going to take a lot of elbow grease or is there something special I need to know?
I had another posting and I asked if the valves from a V8 will interchange. I think someone said they will. Will the springs change over too?
I am also wondering about the oiling system. Do these have a full flow system or is it like the V8 where only some of the oil goes thru the filter? Is it possible to change to a full flow with a common spin on filter?
I remember someone on the Fordbarn posted a picture of the straight six oil system. I just can't find it.
