OT; 1927 Reo Flying Cloud
I posted here back early in 2017 that I was going to rebuild an engine for a '27 Reo for a customer. I posted at that time a photo of the weird split connecting rod nut that this engine has. Well, the engine is finally back in the car and running. I tore the engine down in January 2017, It took me until mid October of 2017 to get all the parts and outside machine work done so I could put it back together. October 28th my back went out and I wasn't able to finish the engine until the end of April this year. I am happy to see this project finished! Here are some photos.
Thanks, Mark

Thanks for the pictures, Mark. I bet it runs as good as it looks.
As Ross mentioned, the water jackets appear to be only at the top of the cylinders where I would suspect the majority of the heat is generated. Also, interesting is the apparent clean outs for the water jacket. I would guess that thing has a five to six inch stroke and tall pistons, does it not, Mark?
