Re: Highest Reliable Compression Ratio
I have Snyders 6.1 with new studs, babbitts, stock oiling. No issues other than less advance is needed.

Re: 1931 Model A Deluxe Roadster
You should move this to the swap meet for sale section.

Re: tube question
Instead of talc I found that spaying water mixed with dish detergent and a bag works best.
I then set the tire changer platform on 4 milk crates and then use 3 HF tire changers.

Re: Radiator using water verse antifreeze
A 50/50 mix will be much better for your engine that just straight water.
