If my foundry ever gets on the stick, I’ll have the oil filter/relief valve housing available. It has an external adjustable relief valve so you can set your pressure to the desired amount. My housing has been tested and works perfect for 10 months now. Made specifically for the Burtz block...

The ridge on black walls appear to be same shape as whitewalls. I installed with larger letters to outside on my black walls. I had a bad experience with the tubes that had radial molded on the valve stem. Not the tires fault. I have American Classic in both my A’s 21” Tudor and 19” pickup. I...

I have a Burlington I can sell. It is a new crank still in the box for an A block. Make me an offer with a PM.

Jeff, sorry to hear about what happened in Illinois. My sister-in-law was a teacher for over 30 yrs. Unfortunately she received very little before she died. Their health insurance was just as bad as they didn’t kick in until 6 months after she had a stroke. I think she got one month payment...

In my opinion this is why employees should have filed a class action law suit especially when employees pension fund is involved. How do I know? I once worked for a company that shut down and liquidated all of their assets. The president was using pension funds and assets to feed the presidents...

Over 24,000 miles and running smooth as the day it left the garage.

Another area that should be checked is the thrust surfaces of the crankshaft. A bad spot will show up on the thrust bearings.

Very bad idea.

The MAFCA website is one place to start looking. It looks like sometime in March 1930.

Experienced builders file the corners of the bearing inserts where they are close to the studs at #1 and #3 main bearings. I’ve seen similar situations of this having happened. “If we just ran a hone through it a couple quick passes” … NO. Inspect if there is a question in how it feels. Take...

In the past year I’ve driven over 22,000 miles with a signal stat 900 with no problems. I use it every time I change lanes or make a turn. Not saying there might be better solutions out there, I just haven’t had problems with either of my 900 in either of my A’s.

I only use this gasket and pretty much have followed the same procedure CWPASADENA does to install. Believe it or not, that leaking stud and nut shown above could have been prevented with spray on sealant and instructed from BEST gasket. Definately do not use the premium gasket...

Best brand 509G. It’s the GraphTite head gasket. If the head doesn’t have the 2 small steam holes in the middle then that’s the one I recommend.
