Wow! That is a beautifully finished piece of work there J and M. Jim H are you refering to that relief cut where the cap and rod separate? What is the purpose of that cut and is it supposed to be on both the cap and the rod, or not? Thanks for all your input guys. This is an awesome forum.

I took my Model A engine to John to rebuild in Feb 2011 I last talked to him in June, it still wasn't finished. I know he has been ill. I called today and now his number is disconected. I am concerned! Does any one know His sons name or contact information? Thanks
