[H. L. Chauvin]

FWIW, Repeated descriptions of: "an engine that was totally rebuilt 17,000 miles ago" should read,

"an engine that was improperly reassembled 17,000 miles ago"

Over the past 20 years, one can hear and/or read on Model A Forums about these same "typical" sad stories over and over, (saying that an engine was "rebuilt" vs. an engine was "improperly reassembled").

It is most educational to see where Model A owners continue to relate to other Model A owners what can happen when one chooses to have Model A engines "reassembled" by anyone who never was qualified to perform such a simple task of "rebuilding" a Model A engine.
