The engine sold. It's going to Ohio to be put in a 37 Coupe. Thanks to all that looked at the engine.

The plugs should be in when balancing. Take the plugs and weigh them that is the amount that the balance will be off if left out.

We just put a small bead with the TIG you do not need to weld all around the seat. Three spots normally will shrink them. I no longer can see good enough and keep my hands still so this job has been passed on to the next generation. Trying to train the third generation but my 12 year old...

I would ask my self these questions. 1. How many miles a year driven. Most Classic cars see a limited miles you don't need to build it for 100K miles. Cast pistons and standard rings will work. 2. Rpm wanted. If you are going for high rpm then forged or hyper pistons are needed. 3. Boost are you...
