Yes, that does look like the real deal. Time for a history lesson. In mid/late 1955 Singer changed the head design and this is one of those heads. It will fit your car and all 4AD's. Notice the 3 intake holes though, that is because the head can be used as a Twin-carb OR a Single carb. There is a s...

Just found this online, obviously you can only tell so much from a picture, but do these look like the real deal?

Long story short, I need a head for my 1500 CC 4AD motor. My old head had cracks that were welded, but upon finally starting up the engine after 30 years of inactivity and after much work $$ almost every major component replaced or refurbished, there is still water getting into one of the cylinders,...

A little rusty but I think it will work just fine image.jpg On its way tomorrow Mike Absolutely great, thank you. Not sure how mine went missing. I'm thinking the person tasked with breaking down the block for cleaning is the likely suspect. I can't wait for it to arrive and move forward with final...

I assume you are talking about this part ? if yes PM me your address and it will be on its way Monday

Yes, that's it. PM sent.
Maybe you can spray a little WD40 or similar on her to help loosen it up Thank you again, Bill

I know back when you were attempting to help me find my connecting rod, they were seized up inside of a block. So I was wondering if that block would have the oil pressure release valve assembly that you'd be willing to sell ?

So any recommendation on an oil pressure release valve assembly replacement?

mikeyr wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2023 7:40 pm what pressure release valve ? the motor free flows to the environment, unless I am thinking incorrectly.

The oil pressure release valve, that is located on the side of the block near the oil filter.

Somehow during the rebuild between two different locations the oil pressure release valve assembly has gone missing. Does anyone know of a easy cross reference to another oil pressure release valve assembly that works with a 1500cc 1951 singer motor. And if not, where I may locate an original ? Than...

cool, the pistons didn't move over the weekend, I was going to take the block to work and use the hydraulic press but its a university not a machine shop so while we have a press in the foundry part of the Arts area, its not something I can get to everyday. Let me know... It seems like the connecti...

I didn't get the pistons out, soaking them some more. Had a unplanned, unscheduled welding class on the weekend and also some prep time for our weather (after the earthquake), but the good news is that the oil I put in the other day went down which hopefully means the pistons will come out next tim...

I was hoping by now you had found something by now. I am going on vacation and when I get back next week, i will see what I can do. I have a few motors that still have their crankshafts in them, so they still have their pistons and rods BUT the pistons are long seized up in the blocks which means n...

No response yet? Does anyone not have parts for a 1497 CC Singer engine, that may have an extra connecting rod?

Looking for a "Connecting rod" for my 51 Singer 1500cc motor that's from a 4AD Singer. My shop is telling me one of my rods has a slight twist to it and they're not wanting to use that particular one in the rebuild. Does anyone have any extra connecting rods, I only need one at the min. Or...
