Its Back......... Original Hurricane Engine

Over the weekend, the Master Mechanic was doing some online research in regards to our oil leak out of the crankcase. His research came across a service bulletin from 1960 on how to fix it. Very cool.

Unfortunately, our current engine does not have the fix, so we need to do something or it will leak oil indefinitely.

Fortunately, the Original Hurricane Engine out of the 1957 Willys had the fix. But it has been at Nashua Engine Rebuilders for the last 2 years, sitting in a corner collecting dust. I decided it was time to retrieve it and bring it home. Here it is, all disassembled.

I have no need of it at this time, that is the reason it has been collecting dust. But it does have some valuable components, and is an engine that can be rebuild. I just don't have $3800+ to do it. I will probably sell it do someone who does. But for now, it will be put in storage, and will use some of its parts to improve the Hurricane Engine that is in the 1960 Willys.
