I do not believe there is a "step by step" thread on how to install insert bearings.

Bill Pursel · 09-02-2018, 05:34 AM

I think its TOP SECRET stuff

Bert's in Denver do inserts.

I had mine done by Fordbarn member Dave in MN, in LeSueur, MN and am very, very happy! He has been making inserted engines for a long time. His website address is www.durableperformance.net.
Also check out another Fordbarn member, James Rogers in Asheville, NC, who also does insert bearings and has a very good reputation. His website address is http://www.model-a-ford-4bangers.com/.

Try googleing "fordbarn; model a insert bearings"
You should fine plenty to read including the "if you do" and "why not to do it".

Go to Antique Engine Rebuilding in Skokie, Illinois.

Cool Hand Lurker · 09-04-2018, 11:28 AM

Take a drive down to Dave in MN's shop south of LeSueur, Minnesota and see his operation. I think you will be impressed.
Give a call ahead because he still works a regular job.
