There were shims in the front cap all others there was none. All of the journals look nice but measure under size.

Damaged Babbitt
I disassembled the engine on my A and found this broken bearing, front of the rear main cap. Other than this the rest of the bearings look good. I assume there is no repair to this?

Spreading frame to install engine
My frame needs to be spread 1/4 inch to install the engine on my A. Is this tension part of how the side rubber mounts work? Is there such a thing as too much tension?

Re: 5 Speed Conversion
Are the rear radius rods bolted solid to that new transmission bracket? If so how can the rear end articulate?

Re: Marvel Carburetor Disection
I have one of these carbs on my 31 A that will not idle or rev up without the choke partially on. The mount flange was severely warped, which I fixed. Is there other areas that have a warp issue?...
