Re: leaking head gasket?

I agree 100% on what you said.

Babbits or inserts, a bad engine will have trouble with a 4.2 head.

Re: new to the model a/forum

Best of luck with your new truck, and welcome to the forum.

Don't worry, if it didn't leak, didn't need better brakes, and didn't need help with the steering it would not be a Model A.

Re: Headlight Help

I went through the same as what Carl mentioned, except I used Logolite.

Yes, you loose the ability to zero in on a light alignment, but the benefits of the LED out weigh that for me.

Re: leaking head gasket?

I wouldn't go to a 5.5, but go to a 6.1 instead.

The cost is the same, but the performance is better. I originally had a 4.2, then changed it to a 5.5 and was very happy with the difference. ...

Re: throw-out bearing

The bottom line is, why would we test our luck with Aetna when there are good manufactures out there.

Which way is the throw-out bearing suppose face in the bearing collar? Round side in to the collar, or larger flat side in towards the collar?

Re: throw-out bearing

Now I am worried. I am going to change it for a Federal Mogul bearing.

I just ordered a NAPA N1087 Tbearing. The box says SKF. The bearing says A-2256 Aetna USA.

Re: Reducing Steering Free Play

I am guessing you did the adjustments correctly.

Toe-in and radials will help a lot with your issues.

Re: Radiator and crank guide question

Chances are you installed the radiator correctly. I am guessing that your radiator is not near stock dimensions.
