Default Re: Engine quit running help

Good afternoon...A Model A is most happy running about 160 degrees...Often a thermostat is necessary to keep them at that temperature. Definitely re-torque your head...but these engines can get condensation if they sit over the winter and I see that you are in Michigan. When you put her away for the winter, most likely a good idea to put a coating of oil on the shafts...and then check them in the spring...also lube your distributor bearings at the same time...I usually remove the set screw for the distributor and shoot 30 weight oil in from my oil can...You did a great job of figuring out 'What the hell happened'.
