Great pictures Ty,

Right down to the basics.   Especially for us that have never seen a V12 down this far.

Don't get scared off mid way through.

I'm not sure I could handle another cliff hanger.

Here's a neat V-12 picture. I think it was on this board a year or so ago, not sure.

Take your eyes off those polished covers and you can then see that the fan belt has teeth. Ha, ha.

I did notice that. I've seen other old photos recently that showed the cog style belts too.

And here I thought those were recent inventions.

Those belts were not really cog belts, they were on standard pulleys.  The notches in the belt was to allow it to wrap around small diameter pulleys  I guess the old belts were not as flexible as the new ones.

Okay, I know it has been a long time, but here are newer progress photos. If the Administrator will move this to the Restoration Blog I will add photos as I take them as work is progressing fast now on this V-12 1937 Cadillac.

Rebored cylinders to 0.030, polished crankshaft, installed new wrist pin bushings, R & R piston rods, resurfaced flywheel, complete valve job on cylinder heads, see those exhaust valve seats?, new valve guides, resurfaced cylinder heads, replaced push rod tubes, cleaned, sanded and painted firewall and chassis, rebuilt clutch, redo brake lines cleaned valve silencers, new valve rockers and push rods, new timing chain, new sproket on camshaft and crankshaft, started long block assembly, $21,000 and not even done yet. So, think about it long and hard before you purchase a V-12 or V-16. Should have purchased an old Chevy!
More to come next week.

Hello again,
Here are six current photos of progress as of today on my 1937 Cadillac V-12 engine.
Hope you can see them well because I had to reduce the clarity greatly to make them fit.
Thank you.
