Diamond sign on Block..
Hi..
Today i was on my store for old parts, and i have in the last many year buy a lot of used parts for Model A... I saw on one of the engine, there was no number pads, so there is no Number on the Engine so i do not know when it was made , and in front of block after the valve cover was a littel " Diamond " logo ... Is this just an aftermarket Block, or is it this "Diamond "Block.?? Per |

Re: Diamond sign on Block..
So today I learned that my Model A diamond block was made on Monday July 13, 1936, the hottest day recorded in Michigan. There was loss of life nation wide, "Detoit's experience was likened to a holocost." Quoted from here -

Re: Diamond sign on Block..
Interesting I have seen a few diamond blocks but they all had pads for the engine No
BTW the reason that diamond blocks are conceded to be slightly better is Henry Ford a very good metallurgist improved his formula as he developed new engines or as needed so diamond blocks or heads ect were cast with the formula of that time |
