I would suggest adding your general location to your profile (and in this case the body of your post). It is much better to buy across the street where you can look at the parts instead of across the country where you have the cost of and uncertainty of shipping. I am sure there are equally good sources near Southern California as near Maine or Florida. Charlie Stephens

You can probably find most of what you need from Egge Machine. They are located in Santa Fe Springs, CA.

If you are rebuilding a pre-1949 engine, make sure that your machine shop knows how to recondition the rods for the floating bearings or replace the crankshaft and rods with the later style that takers the fixed bearings. There were several comments a couple of years ago on the HAMB, about Egge pistons hitting the head. It seems that the dome was too high on some of them. Tom
