Need to know the standard bore size of '28 Model A 4 Banger
Hey everyone! Newest member of the Ford Barn! I'm working on a friend's '28 Model A- engine was locked up so I removed the head and oil pan. Had a broken piston. He wants to get it running fast so I'm looking for a piston. This one measures 3.885" Cylinder bore size is 3.900" Is this stock? Also will need a head if anyone can help with that.
Thanks! |

3.8750 is Standard bore. 3.9050 would be .030" oversized. Hone it a tad over the .005" and you should be close if the cylinder is round. Otherwise you need a .010 piston.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes! And I will take more measurements in the cylinder to make sure it is true. I am located in Southern Illinois- brought the head to a machine shop, but they said it had too many hairline cracks to repair..

They are plentiful and not expensive. I would suggest Berts in Denver for a used head that I'm sure would be in good shape. It would be a crap shoot from most other sources.

I have a head I took off to install a hi-comp head. Ran good. $40.00 plus shipping from Minnesota
