Just curious, Is there any way to tell if a 1942 engine is factory original? I’m about ready to rebuild it soon.

the only things that can possibly not be "original" is the piston / liners / rings... You never know if they have the overbore pistons and liners, or factory parts... Gaskets, cam, crank, rods, gaskets, everything else will be "original" ... at least in size... You would have to take the head off to see what the bore is... There were some aftermarket  pistons that might use a different size rings... so pull one piston before you order rings..
Like them all, but love the "B"s.

Another thing, I know that there is a wick at the end of the crank to lube the pilot bearing. How do you install it and how much does it stick out?

i cut one end to a point so it looks like a nail... soak it good with engine oil... poke into the hole and push with a pair of needle nose pliers... might use a pick to help push into the hole.. engine end is flush.... flywheel end sticks out a minimal amount to distribute the lube... It sould be compressed TIGHT into the hole.. you only want a drop now and then to get thru it.. not a flow.
