Are you satisfied with 45,000 miles as the life of a model A engine? Not being a jerk as I have no idea what one should expect as the road conditions are very different for most A's now than when they were new.
Floats, sorry to hear your engine was built by someone who was either ignorant or a crook.

While we were on the MFACA Canyonland tour in October we had to pull out of the tour on the third day due to a developing knock while under load. Now this rebuild is 23 years old with 45,000 miles!!! We found pieces of babbit in the oil so out it comes. So you see a properly rebuilt engine can go a long ways in a Model A !!
