Re: Chasing my tail trying to get 1928 tudor running
I've had several different valves stick open on various rigs, but never ever stuck closed to where the cam action did not lift them when starting. On the model A, I KNOW from experience (when an oil pump jammed), that the starter's torque will take teeth off of the fiber cam gear if the cam can't turn, and that is why I say this problem is not a stuck valve.
But, I'm usually wrong when I'm sure that I'm right. Ha! (Tom, I'd make a comment about Studebakers, but a valve on my Avanti tends to stick open every now and then... A little overnight soak with Sea Foam and it's right as rain. Done it twice now, same valve, #4 intake. Backfires and farts when it sticks.). Much more common on low spring pressure engines though.

I'd be sure to use gas without corn, if you can find it, and also use 4 ounces of Marvel Mystery Oil to each 10 gallons of gas. Today's gas doesn't have the lubricity of the good gas of the 60's and 70's.

Re: Chasing my tail trying to get 1928 tudor running
The three bolts holding the starter are not the same length! If you put a longer one in that hits the flywheel, It will act as if the engine is locked up. I would pull the starter and see if things turn in gear and go from there.

Re: Chasing my tail trying to get 1928 tudor running
That rumor keeps getting repeated, but all 3 mounting bolts are 1" long.

Re: Chasing my tail trying to get 1928 tudor running
I helped a friend finish putting an engine in his car. the starter would not turn the engine over. I pulled him with his tractor and he popped the clutch. Worse sound I ever heard from a model A engine. we were taking the engine back out when he set the starter bolts on the bench and noticed that one was shorter than the other two. He looked at the flywheel and could see where the bolt was hitting on it. maybe he had the wrong bolts to start with but one of the three was shorter than the other two. Put the shorter one in where it is by the flywheel and the starter worked fine. I am just saying this just in case someone puts the wrong length bolt in that spot. A lot easer to check that than pull the pan for no reason.

Re: Chasing my tail trying to get 1928 tudor running
Look it up in the venders catalog. They’re all the same. It’s easy to mix up bolts if theyre not marked and baged. I did it with the flywheel and luckily I didn’t totally strip out the threads when it bottomed out.

Re: Chasing my tail trying to get 1928 tudor running
There is a possibility, something from the defective starter went down and has the ring gear locked up against the housing some how which could lock up the engine That is where I would start investigating. (as long as you know there was oil in the engine)
