Continental?

I don?t know? But can you get parts for a continental engine ? I had some continental engines for pump engines in the 90s and I could not find parts they were good engines though
 
If it has a distributor that comes straight out the top of the cylinder head then it is a continental.
 
Some Continental engines have parts that are available, some engines have parts that are almost non-existent.
But when it comes to overhaul parts, none of them are inexpensive.
 
Dumb old me, forgot the picture!

Not a very good pic. It's from the early 70's. Has electronic ignition.
 
This one supposedly ran OK when parked. (Yeah, I know!) #1 and #4 intake valves are hung up from sitting for 10 years but it spins over just fine and has good spark. We know next to nothing about LP carburation so we have some learning to do.
 
Look on the side of the block, about the center, opposite side from the manifold, should be a riveted tag with a model number.

Been a few years, but parts were readily available, should still be able to find whatever you need.
 
Probably have to pull the head but there is two small plates on the side of the engine . pull them and soak the valve stem in penetrant. Then here is the hard part m remove the spark plug and see you can ease a ben screw drive to the top of the valve, depends on where it is stuck and lots of luck. If you go easy might get buy without pulling the head but most likely will need a valve job then you might as well ring it, then well lets put new pistons , then the bearings , o heck just overhaul the thing.. LOL.. I did not see a photo and there are another engine with distributor thru the head. Look for castings numbers like 226 on the head.
 
There should be a plate on the side of the motor but, it looks a lot like our old hyster H60c that had a continental f226. Ours was older and had points and was gas.

Work some p b blaster in around the valves and try tapping them down through the spark plug hole. IIRC you can just see the edge of them.
 
Yesterday we did shoot a good shot of loose juice down under the open valves. Will try gently tapping on the valves today. I got carried away on freeing some valves once and ended up tweaking them a little in the process. Won’t do that again.
 
Hi, fixerupper:
My first thought is "I should make a suggestion, but let the Original Poster do the work". My suggestion is look on internet for information on Kaiser/Frazer auto. They used the Continental 226 cubic inch engine in their cars in the late 1940s and early 50s. Supposedly K-F bought Continental Co. BTW, the 226 was popular in fork trucks, air compressors, electrical generators, irrigation pumps, marine applications, and others. Hope this helps!

Thanks everyone for the parts location suggestion. Hopefully my son won’t need parts for awhile as it will see only occasional use in he truck repair shop. We haven’t tried to push down the two stuck valves yet. I hope a gentle tap will loosen them.
