Thanks guys your the best I knew you would know of this problem ... Sounds to me that the engine probably has aluminum type bearing surfaces on the inserts . It died just like Dave in MN said his test engine died . Just so you know the car belongs to my friend Roger and he called me because I have had model A's more years than I care to admit . My 29 A touring Has inserts too and these have caused no problems . So I spent the day over there working on Rogers engine . WE are both old guys and Roger is not able to work on the Model A as much as he would like due to Diabetes and its problems but he loves his Model A .

I will post updates but like I say it may be a few days .
