Re: Spreading frame to install engine
I got lucky with mine. I just used a pry bar and the engine fell right into place. I just started one bolt on the front of the engine, before prying on the mount in the rear.

Re: Brookville Roadster Running Boards
I sent them back, one day before I found out Rootlieb is having problems sourcing parts. I might wait to see if they are able to produce the 28/29 running boards again.

Re: Preferred parts vendors
I frequent Snyders, Model A Medic, Brattons, Berts, Mikes. Pretty much find who has what I need. Ideally you would buy from who is close to your location to save on shipping.

Re: Oil pump
Its just a little pipe plug drilled and taped for a small screw if you want to make one. I did buy one made myself, but would easily be made at home.

Re: Burtz Engine
Should be plenty capable of 60 mph. They ran one at enough rpm to be 70 mph(stock gearing) for a considerable time on the run stand. Maybe 3k rpm? Your gearing will only help.

Re: Hydrolic Brake problems
Verify that the pedal is returning all the way. To get them free you can loosen the line, but that wont figure it out for you, just make it so you can move the car.
