1955 wasp 202ci engine, trans, and rear end.

rmoore16

testing the water to see if anyone would be interested in buying my 202 ci engine, hydramatic 4 speed trans, and/or rear end out of my 1955 Hudson Super Wasp.  complete drive train has only 80,650 miles on them. Still runs and drives.... not removed yet.  now for the bad: trans won't stay in 4th gear, noticed some bubbles around a few of the spark plugs on head the last time I flushed the cooling system, and the rear end I haven't touched. also have some trim not going to be used and the original generator. If interested shoot me and offer. Located in Hickory, Nc.  thanks for looking, Richy

Have some questions about the "bubbles".  Can you call me or can I call you Sunday evening?  Kevin Buchter 717-575-5046. We are located in Pennsylvania.  Thank you.

Ya I can call you Sunday evening. The bubbles are a little bit of compression leaking through the spark plug threads. Only does it on cylinder 1. My name is Richy Moore. What part of pa? I was born and raised in New Kensington, which is near Pittsburgh. But I live in hickory, nc now

Hi, I know its been while but do you possibly still have the gas tank?
Thanks,

A silly question:
Since that engine was installed in a nash body, does it have hydraulic lifters as the big blocks do?

Geoff

As far as I am aware, the only difference in the 202's fitted to the Nash bodies are the water outlet, and length of water pump shaft.  

SuperDave

Adjusting valves must be a lot of fun!

Geoff

Virtually impossible, as the manifold cannot be removed.  The only way it can be done is to  undo the engine mounts and tilt the engine over.

SuperDave

What does the flat rate manual say about that? LOL

Geoff

Well, Step-Down Flat rate is 1.5 hrs to adjust tappets, add a day at least for a Hash!

Geoff

Hey, sorry, I err slightly.  Hash with 202 motor , the  manifolds can be removed, but you have to stand on your head to adjust the tappets.   Only other  Hudson motor in Hash was 308, and these you have to tilt the motor over to remove manifolds.  That's why they went  to the hydraulic lifters in '56.
