    Banger engine update

    Oh, ok! Yeah, I'm familiar with that. Thank you The info provided with the leakless water pump and the aluminum 2 blade fan state that they work together without modification. I checked thee clearance anyways when installing and there were no clearance issues.

    Banger engine update

    That's interesting because a lot of the Model A touring guys that I know rave about this fan and have never seen the plastic fan in real life. I've only ever heard about people using this fan on the internet. We all have our own real life experiences though so i get it. Thanks for sharing your...

    Banger engine update

    That's not a bad idea at all. Definitely better to be safe than sorry. Thank you for the recommendation.

    Banger engine update

    I hadn't thought of that off the bat. I imagine that's to keep the fuel mixture from detonating and causing internal damage?

    Banger engine update

    It's quite incredible how quickly it gets up to speed now! I've only had it up to 40mph due to the icy conditions but once it clears up, I'll give it a good test. So far, I'm very impressed and wis I went this route earlier. Always have to learn the hard way for some reason

    Model B cylinder head and water pump

    **Dropped to $400** I just recently replaced my Model B cylinder head with a high compression Model A head so I no longer need these parts. Head had been resurfaced before installation and the water pump completely rebuilt with all parts from David at Renner's Corner. The water pump has also...

    Banger engine update

    When I first mentioned that I would be putting a Model B cylinder head on my A block, many asked why? And that was a very good question. Well, one guy brought up a good point about steam holes needing to be blocked off, which I hadn't done and assumed that this is what has been causing my...

    Refreshing my model a engine with B parts

    I agree with this and it's what I will probably do in the future when I decided to refresh the engine. Currently, my goal is to get it back up and driving as inexpensive as possible just to be able to enjoy it. The HC A head and a leakless water pump is definitely the most beneficial setup. At...

    Refreshing my model a engine with B parts

    I'm sure it's just a typo but I think you mean 4.22 for the Model A and 4.6 for the Model B. To be honest, there is really not much effort. Model B head gasket, water pump, block 2 steam holes and you're done. Model A high compression head is obviously more beneficial but I was uncertain of...

    I am not sure of this at all, unfortunately

    Refreshing my model a engine with B parts

    You're definitely not wrong in anything you said. It makes perfect sense. I guess it was just penny pinching for the time being and when I looked, the HC head wasn't available on Snyder's. I was able to pick up a Model B head and pump for $200. I have also found many more B pumps since. They're...

    Refreshing my model a engine with B parts

    This is the conclusion I came to as well, both 32. The odd one has an interesting impeller that I had never seen before. I was more curious if anyone had seen this style before and if it were aftermarket or homemade. Thanks for looking out on the differences between the B and A heads to block...

    Refreshing my model a engine with B parts

    i would agree that the 33-34 is a smaller housing with the grease fittings very close together for the reason you stated but these are both for a 32 as the housings are the same with the longer distance between the front and rear grease fittings. I was more curious about the odd looking impeller...

    Refreshing my model a engine with B parts

    This was my thought but wanted to see if anyone had seen anything like this before. Curious if it's aftermarket or something someone made in their garage.

    Refreshing my model a engine with B parts

    I had decided to repair my cooling system overheating issues and instead of starting small with radiator repairs, I decided to open up a can of worms like an idiot. Had one headstud break while trying to remove the head to replace the headgasket and it's been a fun journey from there. I'll make...

    Model a head on model b engine

    Do you still have this available? I just removed my head due to some overheating issues to find my block filled with stop leak from a precious owner. Would like to upgrade while I'm at this stage and looking to assemble asap. Please let me know. Thank you in advance.

    Dreaming of a 1928 Special Coupe

    Thank you! I understand that this car will enrich my life but how will it keep me poor? Reference to maintenance? Out of all the cars I've owned and still own, this is the one my wife looks forward to cruising in. The enrichment has already begun
