I have a 1926 Superior K Sedan and the four cylinder engine that sits in it( believed to be the original engine)has exposed push rods and the exhaust manifold has one exhaust port. In a different 1926 Chev (open car) I found a different four cylinder engine (claimed to be original to the car) that has the push rods enclosed behind a metal side plate and the exhaust manifold has two exhaust ports;also there is an oil filter attached to this one. Were there two different 1926 four cylider engines that year? Or are we dealing with two different production years?

I agree, the second engine would be a 1928

Mikeyboy if you have a '26 "K" your generator, distributor, and oil pump should be connected one behind the other and gear driven off the crankshaft. I have the same car. The VCCA considers them late '25 models. My '26 was built in Terrytown N.Y. around Oct. 1925. If your generator is on the drivers side, you have a "V" model engine that started production in January 1926.
