Another A in the Tudor

So, after a lot of troubles with water in the oil, I finally concluded, the block of my first B engine was cracked - see earlier blogpost.
Therfore I've decided to put an A motor in the Tudor, as I have to sell it to raise money to a downpayment on my future house, and the other B I will keep to put in my project. Hence it's no longer a B, I will post updates on the A engine on Dannerrs blog, where I will go through the engine.
Below are some pictures of the begining of the tear down:

Fourth cylinders conecting rod:





I'll post here again, when B related topics araise.

Bitter sweet news

My first bought B-engine is cracked:


I came up with the idea for a tool- a set of flanges, to put on the engine, in order to pressure test the water canals, to see if they were leaking, using regular fosset pressure:


On the bottom you plug in the water hose, and drain the air from the valve on the flange on the top, where the water pump used to be.
The above is for a model B head, but I even started on a set for the model A:


I guess this is a good and a bad news: the good is, that the tool works, the bad is, my engine is broken! The water flows up right next to the valve guides:


So, next step is to mount a new conecting rod in the old model A engine, get that going in the car, and find out, if this engine can be fixed.

Keep 'em kruzin!
