Default Re: No Gaskets?

This is why I rarely ever put much faith in the statement: runs/drive/stops/etc. "as a Model A should".

In that guy's world, a Model A should leak everywhere. That's _not_ how that's supposed to work. But...given the number of leaking cylinder heads I see on used Model As, I sometimes wonder if it's a belief that's more widely held...

What incorrect statements can you find:


Friction shocks
Downdraft carburetor
Could not find brake adjuster
Battery is removed from under vehicle
Machine tolerances not as good as modern vehicles


Just a few
