Just Got My Glasses Clean - TEST

Hi Tom, great to see you again at Oshkosh....

I don't know what galling is but the rings on #4 were stuck with black, sticky nasty carbon.....as I mentioned, #3, rings loose as a goose.

What's acceptable ring gap? We were getting 23-25 at the top...that seems too much?

Thanks!

To the helpful FordBarn community:

Project over. (Corrision, Tom)...

Replaced all rings - compression and oil / replaced valves with the "modern Model A valves" with the one-piece guides from Richy Fallucca / replaced torn up fiber timing gear with a standard size aluminum one....(NO noise whatsoever from it)....

Car runs well and leaks a bit despite all of our new gaskets etc...but that's Model A's I guess....

Thanks to all.....including my garage crew Dan and Jack.

John Silvestri :)
