Re: HP & Torque For Various Cylinder Heads
To maximize bearing life full flow oil filtration and avoiding spark knock is important.The effect of spark knock on bearings increases with higher compression.Folks who want the power but look original with the 5.5 or 6 to 1 head and use an A distributor risk accelerated bearing wear due to detonation.One thing I'm not convinced about is the value of a counter balanced crankshaft vs the dynamic balanced crankshaft in the Model A.Does anyone have hard evidence of increased life vs cost? my gut says it doesn't pencil out..
