Hello! This is my other French Flatty, known as the Spalding Flatty. I embark on a plan of attack to build a performance motor for the 32, but an unfortunate turn of events means I had to refocus.
In this series I will cover the jobs needed to make the French motor run as a 59A clone.

Good luck with that one Mart. You never know, it just might be fine. Seeing carbon in some of the "blemishes" in cylinder walls, makes me wonder about nonmetalic inclusions during casting of the block. ?? Any who, good on you....CHEERS . mike
