James Rogers Engine
I purchased one of James's engines (Dreamwerks) recently and put it in my Tudor this last week. Of all Model A's I have seen and heard, never have I heard an engine this quiet, easy to start, and powerful. .080 over, oversized intake valves, touring grind cam, Snyder's 5.5 head, V-8 pressure plate, and lightened flywheel. Wow!!!!! Professional crating and very helpful with shipping. I will buy my next one from him too. If anyone is considering investing the money in a professionally rebuilt Model A engine, I highly recommend him. Thanks James. Good job.

Re: James Rogers Engine
Nice endorsement. FWIW, I too use his engines, --and have for several years now. Excellent track record.

Re: James Rogers Engine
This is the first thread I have read regarding how his engines have worked out. I am closer to schwalms in Lancaster but would definitely give Jim a look if I need something

Re: James Rogers Engine
The bestest? I guessest.
His stock engines without modifications must be just as good too I assume. I hear Rick [Antique Engine] in Skokie, Illinois is good as well. Guys in our club are less than a five hours drive away. Both are good and offer a good choice. skip. |

Re: James Rogers Engine
I just picked up a head from him this morning and I gotta say he is great guy. Very Personable. I am more than pleased with the head I got. He has alot of knowledge about these motors and does just about everything right there at his shop. When it comes time for the tudor to receive a new motor James Rodgers will be the man building it. Thanks again James!

Re: James Rogers Engine
This is good to know.. I think I'll need an engine pretty soon so this is good info.. I also like the fact that some folks seem to still prefer a properly cut steering sector bushing rather than a bearing..

Re: James Rogers Engine
Has anybody on this board had any experience with Ron's Machine Shop in Shandon, OH for engine rebuilding? Right next to Cincinnati.

Re: James Rogers Engine
Don Lobner in Shawnee KS is a great alternative for the guys in the midwest. He does all of his own machining also. Babbits, inserts, lightened flywheels...etc. A great track record around here. That is the builder of my engine. I have yet to install it, but many of the guys in the clubs around here are real pleased with theirs.

Re: James Rogers Engine
James is actually picking up my engine this morning at the shipping terminal. Odd that I find this post the morning of. James thus for has been very personable and very easy to work with. I expect to be completely satisfied.

Re: James Rogers Engine
James,
So did they have a hat large enough in Asheville for your Christmas present or did they have to special order from Texas? Thanks for all your posts and help. Last edited by Benson; 02-07-2011 at 10:53 AM. |
