Great job Ryan, I think that is why you make the big money. LOL

May have found my problem to the noise. Dropped the pan and found to my surprise I had an inserted engine, but someone put in full shim packs in each rod. Removed them and plastigaged to 1 thousand, think Ill put it back together and see how she does.

Shorted out #4 noise stopped. Dropped pan, looks excellent but going to check with plastigauge. Did notice timing gear shreaded, need recomendation of type gear to get.

Thanks Ryan you do a fantastic job.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have addressed them all except the oil pump issue. I'll try that next. I will also get a stethoscope to help penpoint the source of the tik.

Purchased a Budd cab 31 from an estate. It is unknown the condition of the motor. It starts good, runs good, does not leak excessive oil, no smoke. I adjusted the valves to try to eliminate tick. Have two other A's and the do not have this noise. Sounds like an exhaust leak so I installed a new...

Make sure rotor is pointed at #1 and not opposite #1 as some instructions say. Opposite does not mean away but towards. Heard of this happening.

Drop it in, set the points, time the engine using standard A procedure.

Thanks for the input. Turns out the voltage was not sufficient with the motor not running. Works with motor voltage output. Probably not a good clean connection somewhere.

Did 30-31 roadsters and pickups come with sill plates? Are they the same as coupes if there are any?

I am currently working on a sparton horn that is surely a reproduction. I put new brushes in and can not get the horn to sound correctly, it also stops during it's rotation. I have to give it a little help to get it to rotate. This is on my 1930 roadster. I also am having an issue with my 31...

New to me, 31 Budd Cab A. Has artificial black vinyl headliner. Also has several ribs holding up the liner. Is this anywhere correct, is there even a headliner in this truck.

ModelA29, thanks for the links, that is just what I needed.

Just acquired a 31 roadster from an estate. New gas, new battery, runs like a top. Appears to have an older restoration, maybe from the 60s are early 70s. Has what looks like to me a borg warner od . It appears to have been professionally installed and wired. It has a push pull lever in the...

i use what Jim GA uses works great.

I am using an alternator also, and find that adjusting the horn with the car not running I could make it sound great. With it running it sounds like a dying cow. Realized I had to have the alternator excited and engine running and then adjust. Still sounds like dying cow with engine off but...

Same as ModelA29, works great for me also.

Never used a stick.

Two by four across the oil pan, use a large C clamp below the drip pan and over the two by four and it pops out without much effort. Try dropping mine, did not work. Other method worked like a charm.

I agree with Beedblue4life, Petronix is the way to go, epoxy filled.
