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.

It may well have been improperly assembled while being rebuilt. What about the images makes you think that it was done improperly? Are you in agreement that the babbitt was improperly poured/cast/machined? That is what the owner believes as well as a local club member, and a few people that have responded here. Thank you.
