Re: KLC piston height
Anythings possible. Until you pull them and check the numbers on the side and measure them you won't know.

Re: KLC piston height
Without removing the pistons and measuring them it is hard to say. But 1/16" is the compression height difference between a K series piston and a KL series piston.

Re: Water Pump Rebuilding
That's not a Chevrolet pump. If it were the part number would be on the surface where the gasket is when removed.

Re: Drilling Camshaft??
Pressurized oil is supposed to go in a manual gear. Blow in the end of the crank to see if it was drilled.

Re: 1955 Chris Craft 21’ Capri with Hemi
I read the Maintenance manual cover to cover and all I found was:
Torque 298lbs @ 2800 RPMs
Horsepower 200 @ 3800 RPMs
Horsepower usually peaks then drops off before the engine Maxs out.

Re: Stern Light for 61 Capri
Peter,
The parts are hardware store items. Tubing and delrin. Gravity holds the pole in. That's why they are often missing.

Re: KFL won't start after it sits for 20 mins
A KFL should have a timing marker at about 1 O'clock between the two bolts that hold the front flange to the block. Matches to a dimple on the flywheel.

Re: Frost/Freeze Plugs
There are two types. One has sides and is referred to as "cup style" I use a socket to install. The other is like a large contact lens. "Disc style" I'd replace that style and install with a large punch.

Re: 6 or 12 volt battery
Depends on the year. Look on the coil or voltage regulator. Up to 1956 or so was 6 volt. Switched to 12 volt in 1957.

Re: Hot K exhaust elbow
What Captain Nemo says is correct. You don't want water in that area as it may get in to the internal part of the engine.
