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

He told me this week 'I may have made a mistake. Wish I had spent the money on a new Terry...

The difference in performance with straight gasoline over the Ethanol laced junk is different as night and day.

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

I'm retired from John Deere Harvester Wks.. Most of Deere's iron castings are still being made at the JD Waterloo Wks. and are of excellent quality. A lot of other JD foundry work comes out of...

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

norcallal this conversation reminds me of a similar one several years ago, of a restorer on here that built a '30 Roadster with a new Brookville body.

Most people including me, probably...

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

No matter how we look at this thing, it comes down to 'Pay to Play.' You have to ask yourself "How badly do I want to go down this road?"

I've yet to find a hobby that doesn't get expensive...

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

Terry this may be a stupid question, but will the new engine HAVE to run a filter?

I know it is better for the engine but I never liked the looks of a filter on a Model A. I don't mind just...

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

Carl, in my opinion and it doesn't account for much ;) Model A blocks being a 'dime-a-dozen', well maybe and maybe not if you want a good one. As time goes by the good ones will get harder to find. ...

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

Terry's new engine configuration will fill the 'gap' by the loss of guys like Herm Kohnke who's talents sadly are getting quite difficult to replicate.

Properly rebuilding a '90 year old engine'...

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

I just read recently where Scat crankshafts are made in China then shipped to Redondo Beach, Calif. for machining and sales. Scat cranks are pretty top of the line, good units.

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

Maybe because 'Clara' sounded too 'slow'???:p

That Dahlinger lady that went after Henry was nothing but a gold digger. I regarded her as a low life from the histories that I read..

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

Yes and to think they did a lot of it under cover in the old Greenfield Village shops, that project was kept pretty secret away from prying eyes.

Ford turned the automotive world on it's ear and...

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

Doesn't sound like a very good idea. I don't think I'd want to be involved with that technique.

Usually the old tried and true...

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