All gaskets have a specific thickness and a compressed thickness. As long as You still get a good amount of compression in the low spot you should be good. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Thanks Tom I'll check them out. My last order was with CW MOSS in California. There catalog was great. I ordered on Friday and parts where at my door Monday. Now they are in my state so that is to be expected. In my short time in this hobby I found this, different suppliers, same parts. Only so...

I am new to the A hobby and my biggest complaint with them is they are just slow. Maybe I feel that way because I have building cars for a long time and order a lot of stuff from summit but shipping is expensive and slow from Mac's. I always try And support my local shops befor i order. Sent...

I had a pop out switch that was no good so I made this. This puts the aftermarket switch into the original hole letting you use the original 3 screws mount. It's still a work in progress but it's close. It holds the key tight and looks original from the front. 3d printing technology in a model...

You need to remove any paint from the taper on the fan for sure. The wheels can be coated, the lugs will be fine. When you torque the wheels it will just compress the paint if you take the wheels off and on the paint will remove itself from the friction. Some shops have plugs that can be...

I have a 3d printer and use it to make tools and parts all the time. I use viacad from Amazon. It's great tool for prototyping parts and even finish products. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Try spraying carb cleaner on your intake gasket and the intake itself while the engine is idling. If you have any leaks the engine will increase in RPM. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I have been in the valve cover when I changed out the oil pump drive gear all of the valves move great and there was no sticking valves. When trying to start the motor the oil fill spout cap pops open from the crank case pressure. I believe that I may have bad rings. Or cylinder walls are worn...

Prior to my purchase of the car maybe 30-40-50 years. I think my goal to try and get it running as a survivor may be lost. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

I did not pour any oil in at that time. I did pour oil in prior to trying to rotate the engine over for the first time. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

After work I went to a buddy of mine who has a 31 that we just completed a 12v conversation on. His car to has not ran in 30+ years. We completed the wiring and was able to start it for the first time. That being said I know I'm doing the timing right. My new concern is that his motor turns over...

I have a 1928 sport coupe that I'm trying to get running. I 99.9% sure on the timing 99.9% on the carb I rebuild and I have good compression. I replaced the oil pump drive gear that was extremely worn, installed an updated pionts system and rebuilt the carb. The motor is spitting and sputtering...

First off thanks for the help. I was about to pull the motor and throw it in the trash last night. After reading the comments I pulled the valve cover off and pulled the drive gear. The cam looks to be ok. I'm not sure if I should still order a oversize gear or not. Sent from my SM-G930V using...
