To Katy's point, the stock Model A is Babbitt and shims.
Many thought have been converted to inserts and full pressure oiling.
Many have been also "modified" with partial attempts.
Many have been rebuilt by production line type shops and some of the work is marginal.
If you happen to have one done by a reputable shop, you will know.
