    Balance a Burtz

    Why even chance not balancing a 'Chinese' product. I don't care if they balanced them over there or not, I have them balanced again as a precaution. I agree with Dan McEaechern on that premise when spending all the extra $$$, why not spend the extra few bucks... But with that said: Terry is...

    Lucas versus European Classic tires

    I have purchased several sets from Dave Bockman in Visalia, California and run them on two of my cars. They are great and I've had no problems with the black. The white walls were a different story but the problem was remedied early on by the factory. I'm very happy with my Classic European tires.

    H&H Model A motor thrust bearing issue

    The Way Henry Built It...I've learned from the mistakes made by H&H and place the thrust washers on the rear main in all the engines I rebuild (25+ now) Also helpful were the many great discussions with Jim Brierley, Sammy Gutherie and others. Thanks

    The Terry Burtz 5 main bearing engine blocks are back on track.

    It is absolutely disappointing to hear that this work had to be taken to China. I use a very competent US owned iron foundry in Mexico for a lot of our work and they are very good. Whether or not they are up to casting an engine block... Not sure. But did anyone try and contact Mesa Castings?

    I now own a Ammco 400 LBM purchased from JB here on FB but now I'm looking to buy some new tool bits. It has a 1.25" diameter boring bar with 5/16" diameter bits? Also, how does one use the facing adapter, shown above, to cut a pocket for the thrust washer?I understand the principle in how it...
