AER inserts I was told are aluminum bearing surface. Rich also sets up the clearance on rods and mains to .0017. Any tighter and they will seize.

Default Re: Oil filter
At what speed did he travel? These cars don't like anything over 45 at the most for sustained periods. I know, I know, there are plenty of you who say they cruise at 50 or 55 mph but I would never do that in a Model A without an overdrive.

X2 with Arnold. Anything over 45 MPH with a 3:78-1 rear end is very hard on the engine. I installed a 26% Mitchel overdrive in our 28 a month ago and love it. Now I can cruise at 50 without killing the engine.
