thanks very much to all of you for advices ! Très content de faire partie de ce forum ! I have a manifold gasket among my stuf in my shop. I ll try to change it next week.

Hello everibody ! Bonjour à tous ! My engine is now making a metallic noise that it didn't make before. I wonder if this noise is worrying. The engine seems to be running very well. Could the noise simply be coming from the exhaust manifold? This video after 1 minute cold start but the noise is...

Hello ! When I pulled off the rear hub in order to check key and bearing, it came in two parts. As you can see on photo. Do I need a press or something to re-assemble these two parts ? or can I put them back like this and the wheel will hold them together ? Thanks !

Hello everybody ! I'm really a newbie ! I checked again and realised that the axle was ok ! It was only the nut that was damaged ! I also discovered that the axle had been already modified in the past because it's a ø9/16. I realised that when I tried to put a new axle nut from original parts...

thank you very much for the advice, I'll try this (actually, i'll ask a friend of mine who is skilled for this kind of work...)

Hello ! I made a mistake yesterday. I set up new bearings and axle key at the rear. But after that I overtighted the axle nut and damaged the thread. Any advice of what I could do now, but cry ? I suspected 125lbft in L.A book was too much but I should have stopped before 70... Too late...

Prior to 1945, Argentina and Uruguay were LHT and therefore cars were RHD. Oh, I ignored that ! I knew that in sweden, they changed from Left H traffic to right traffic in a day. http://realscandinavia.com/this-day-in-history-swedish-traffic-switches-sides-september-3-1967/ In France...

I mean they drive on the other left side of the road... (like in the US or in France)

Hello ! i own a 1928 phaeton Model A. My father bought it in Uruguay 35 years ago and shipped it to France in the 1990's It' a RHD car. I wonder why it's a RHD I'm trying to get any information about where this car could come from. Does anyone know if Model As were built or assembled in south...

Hello ! News from France, i fixed it like you said. I've change the tube for a new one, checked the clearence with plasticage, took off a shim (I had two shims on each side, I took off one), and everything's perfect now, no more leak ! Thanks.

A tube from an US supplier costs only a few dollars. But I have to pay 50 dollars for shipping, plus 7% import tax, plus 20% VAT. So If I need others things, it's better to think about them before ordering. I only work on my car on wednesdays. I will check tomorrow all the advice you gave me...

I took another photo with total length of the tube. As you can see, the total length is 7 cm, what is less than 3 inches. Do you think the problem could be caused by a too short tube ? Thanks again

Thanks everybody for yours words, I really appreciate. I do think that the marks on the crank are only stains of oil illuminated by the camera flash. I now attach a picture of the drain tube before I opened the rear main. What I understand in Benson's words is that my drain tube may be too...

thank you for your answer. I did not write the last words of my first post with the 0,21 cm. I don't known why it is written there. Maybe because I copied the words from another software or came with the pictures

Hi, I'm french, and live in Brittany, West of France. Please excuse me for my english. I can read it easily but it's more difficult for me to speak it or write it ; I'm a 1928 Model A phaeton owner. it is a family car my father bought 30 years ago in Uruguay. The engine has been rebuild...
