I am looking for 1/4 inch valve guides for these Hercules engines. They are about 1.5 inches long. Ertel number is G604. Anyone know where to get these? I need 16 for 2 engines. |

Have you tried "Goodson" or "NAPA" I have had very good luck with both of them. Matt |

I thought that the Midget was based on an Austin / Morris British engine. The bigger Buchanas were Hercules blocks.
Those little engine don't have oil seal and when they get a bit worn, your bilge gets quite oily.
Somewhere I think I might have the speed / torque curve for that engine.

Buchanan Midget is based upon the Hercules zx block. Most internal parts are the same for ZXA AND zxb EXCEPT PISTONS AND RINGS. Where are you located? |

I have an hercules JX4D-5 HERCULES engine, which came on an USMotors Generator. It came off of a Military instullation and was installed in the early 50's I think. I am looking for a point plate for the distributor. Can anyone help me locate on of these plates? |
