 |
|
Its been many years since I've been to the Pomona Swapmeet so I decided to go the day before as many swappers/vendors set up early. While strolling up and down the rows, I noticed a gentleman that had a lot of 36hp sheetmetal and misc. 36hp items. I asked him if he was familiar with Okrasa or Denzel performancee parts. He said "as a matter of fact, I am. Let me show you what else I have". He pulled out a pair of Denzel heads and Denzel crankshaft. We struck a deal and now the parts are in my possession. I guess it paid off going early......You never know what you'll find. Cheers Amigos.

haha Amigo, I'm jealous
Nice catch, der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm
Last year I made the same experience and bought from two brothers my 36hp Okrasa kit, they cleaned up the yard of their father but unfortunaly disposed the rest of the engine, perhaps the Fram oil can, Okrasa crankshaft, Porsche dizzy and all the other parts that we have to collect now   |

Bengt, I have not measured it. I'm going to take it to be serviced and at that time, I can check the stroke. I would imagine, 67mm?
Were there different strokes available and is there any documentation to support that claim? Cheers.

Ha! I think that seller is a regular; I remember seeing that crank a few meets ago and asking what it was. I think the response was something like "If you have to ask, then you're not going to but it/want it" or something like that.
Glad someone who knows this stuff is still floating around these meets!

Nice score Joe, those would be great on my 36hp Bonneville engine. Did you get the 'Denzel only' rockers and shafts to go with them?
