Posted: Tue May 22, 2012 1:53 pm Post subject: Bracket on rear engine plate
I have disassembled my M38 engine completely and I'm now in the (slow) process of cleaning and painting everything. On the engine rear plate there is an "L" bracket fastened with 4 Allen screws (the only Allen screws I've found in the engine).
On this bracket is a thick rubber gasket or is it maybe just rubber putty? The rubber is not in a good condition but I don't want to remove it before I know where I can find a replacement. Has the gasket got a WO number?
I guess it is all in group 0103, but it's not obvious to me. Better ask the Forum.
All three of the "L" brackets are reinforcements. All are listed in the ORD 9 as is the gasket.
Start with the ORD 9 SNL G-740 page 16. "V" is the gasket. "W" is the plate assy. Then starting with page 30: (since you have a post MC74419 engine)
Gasket V is 8328049 engine to bell housing plate
Gasket Z is 8328048 Bell housing plate to bell housing
Plate W is 8328047 Rear engine plate or often called bellhousing adapter plate.
The left and right reinforcements are: Lt 8328483 & Rt 8328484The horizontal angle is a support 8328125 on page 32. _________________ Wes K

Aha! Thank you Wes!
I start to understand now. First, I only have the horizontal bracket, not the two lower ones. Are they possible to obtain or should I fabricate replicas?
Secondly, my rubber gasket on the horizontal bracket must be something homemade. Should I remove the rubber and run without it? I guess someone put it there for some reason. See pic. below. The rubber is quite thick.

I bought a NOS bracket from midwest back when I was working on my M170 engine and it came out of the package with the rubber coating on the contact sides. Leave the rubber. I was also missing the other brackets and got them on ebay and see them pop up here and there. Call the trusted suppliers; they should have em. _________________ 1955 M170
