    De-cipher Piston Markings

    I am not familiar with the history of my motor, or Model A motor replacement parts in particular. The top of each piston has a 40 stamped in it. Is this a standard after market practice for a .040 overbore piston? Thanks Mark

    Safe to remove head nuts and replace one at a time?

    I am going to paint the engine and wondered how safe or bad it may be to remove a head nut to remove something? There is one of those heat shield plates under the distributor, as well as the cable clamp, that would make the masking job a tad easier. Would I risk warping the head by relieving...
