Default Re: Engine [Near] Death

this engine wasn't long for this car as it was - it never ran right - poor idle (missed below 700 rpm)
FWIW, I had a Model T w/a "rebuilt" engine that wouldn't idle worth a darn. Turned out the camshaft was badly worn, replaced camshaft w/a reground one and it ran and idled fine after that.
