Re: The Terry Burtz 5 main bearing engine blocks are back on track.

Yes, they are compatible with a stock engine. They will have the markings of an original stock head on the exterior.

Re: The Terry Burtz 5 main bearing engine blocks are back on track.

It’s worth a try if you can find o-rings thin enough. Snyder’s and some others sell a flat washer with a rubber seal in the inner hole of the washer. It would also be worth trying packing and...

Re: The Terry Burtz 5 main bearing engine blocks are back on track.

Terry, thank you for posting that. I don’t think some people are reading the online guide. Is there a guide that is shipped with the block? I highly recommend reading the online guides.

Re: The Terry Burtz 5 main bearing engine blocks are back on track.

I’ve built this engine and helped a good friend with his. What page or pages are you referring to?

Re: The Terry Burtz 5 main bearing engine blocks are back on track.

Don’t rely on the manual that ships with the block. Go to modelaengine.com and download all of the user guides. Read the user guide before you begin.

Re: The Terry Burtz 5 main bearing engine blocks are back on track.

Every station should have a choice of non ethanol. Why should people have to drive out of their way to get regular gas without the corn crap in it? We’ve gotten way off the subject here of the new...

Re: The Terry Burtz 5 main bearing engine blocks are back on track.

Diesel fuel, in a small amount. The flash point is higher from diesel while gasoline is lower and the alcohol is even lower, add to that the ambient temperatures of 100° and higher complicates...

Pete, I had 40+ psi @2200 rpm warm oil. About 35 psi at 1500 rpm warm oil. With the Scat Volkswagen adjustable external valve I have 20+ psi from idle increasing to cruising speed 60+ mph. At a slow...

Re: The Terry Burtz 5 main bearing engine blocks are back on track.

The oil filter kit that you have a link to WILL NOT work with a Burtz block. The Burtz block is in no way like a original Model A engine oiling. Your builder needs to read all of the guides that are...
