Paul Breisch “Olds” Hit and Miss Engine Casting Kit with Blueprints. My father bought this Paul Breisch engine casting kit back in the 80′s. It’s been in a box ever since. It appears to have a complete set of blueprints, except print E-25 is half of a sheet. It also appears that all of the original castings are there. Main Casting – Iron. Cylinder Head Casting – Iron. Connecting Rod Casting – Brass. Bearing Caps Casting – Iron. Mixing Valve Casting – Brass. Rocker Arm Casting – Brass. 2 Timing Gears – Machined. 1 needle Valve – Machined. Unidentified Pin – Brass. Engine Data Plate – Brass. E-12 Dated 1/16/74 “Making a One-Piece Crankshaft”. E-31 Dated 5/24/76 “Block – Machining Drawing”. E3-5 Dated 7/16/66 “Mixing Valve”. If you are looking at this, you know what it is, and you know this kit requires machining skills to complete… Like turning a crankshaft. All the other components to make this engine functional are to be machined, and or fabricated by the builder. You will also need material to machine other components such as the crankshaft, piston, rings, etc. All that is included is what is pictured… I’ve done my best to describe this item. Feel free to message me with any questions. I’ll do my best to answer them promptly. Has any machining been done to the kit? – Answer: My father did not machine anything on this kit. The kit is as it was received from Paul Breisch. The factory performed a rough turning of the mating face of the cylinder head. What about a crankshaft? – Answer: Blueprint E3-2 calls for using 4140 steel which was not included with the kit. I don’t see the bearing caps Answer: The (2) bearing caps are cast together, and have a cast line indicating where to cut them apart. They are pictured just below the crank end of the main casting (bottom left), and to the right of the flywheels.
