Re: How The Model A Ford Engine Was Built
The magic was in the tooling - how many operations per station and the number of blocks being machined at one time. I like how they spin balanced the cranks but went to the old bubble balance method for the flywheel.
And not an OSHA inspector in sight - get hurt lose your job was a big incentive..... |

Re: How The Model A Ford Engine Was Built
Rick Black, I watched several times in the video where a long jig is levered down into the block and a workmen with two ladles leans over the jig and makes three pours of the liquid babbitt. How quick could it have solidified? Would have like to have seen how they align bored the mains and if finished to size by reamer.

It would be hard to get people to sign up for those jobs now.
