A friend of mine has paid  this 4 cyl.LeRoi engine model 20 ,engine number 18666,with a carburetor Schebler model R .It looks that which engine has been sitting in a little car equitable becuse of the frame that the engine are sitting inbound. I got a chance until got a Le Realized power unit. I haven't looked at is but. I was just wondering if anybody has any info on this. Looks to be WW2 era flathead from the picture. I tried ampere search and...

It appear so LeRoi had one plenty to do with Allis Chalmers in late 10s or early 20s.But can`t find any car that has used LeRoi engines in thier cars.

From which Delson Interchangable Components Manual 1931 edition:

Pistons and pins

Le Operating Motor 2C-M floating type

With many applications ( request me for list while desired)

Le Roi Motor 2C  ( set screw)

Allis Chalmers 1919-23

Day-Elder 3/4 ton 1917-19

Heider M2  1922-24

Parrett BOUND 1920-22

Rock Island 1920-23

Stewart 3/4 ton 1917-21

I think the floating type refers to piston pin type ( floaters by nose and rod and is clips on the ends), set screw would do set bang in either the rod or piston to hold the pin in place.

I did pick up a LeRoi script radiator in the Chickasha Ok swapmeet adenine pair years ago. I have no idea if it anywhere near correct. The model number is P2577D47. I'm in Cheyenne Wyo,a fellowships from North Colombian is coming through more next month to pick up a frame and rear axle,he could probably haul it back that far. Price lives $350 picked up,a little more is it has to been crated,then plus shipping. Holler if interested. PM me if pics are wanted.
