ANTIQUE ENGINE REBUILDING
     MODEL A ENGINE INSTRUCTIONS
 
 
MODEL A
REMANUFACTURED ENGINE BLOCK INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Do not attempt to start or run engine without maintaining proper oil level and flow.  We recommend 10 W 30, or 5 W 30 motor oils in the Model A engine with a steel camshaft.

2.  Ensure oil pump is in good condition.  Check oil flow immediately after starting engine.  If gauge is not used loosen lower oil pipe bolt.  Oil should start to spurt out in first minute and half of running.  If no oil in two minutes  turn engine off.  Determine why no oil and repair as necessary.

3.  Check oil pan dipper tray, remove and clean undersides, and pan.  Ensure tight seal and no punctures, holes rust outs.

4.  WARRANTY VOID if engine run or operated with out maintaining proper oil level and flow. 

5.  Do not attempt to start or run engine at anytime without maintaining proper coolant level.  We recommend the use of antifreeze and 1/2 vial of block sealer.

6.  WARRANTY VOID if engine run or operated excessive temperatures or with out maintaining proper water level.

7.  All parts installed in or on engine are to be clean and in good working order.  The cleaner the engine the longer the life.

8.  ANTIQUE ENGINE REBUILDING is not responsible for damages occurring to engine or other due to use of worn, dirty, or faulty parts.  This includes but is not limited to water pump, radiator, distributor, oil pump, oil pump drive gear, carburetor, belts, hoses, manifolds, gaskets, ect.

9.  Engine should always be maintained and operated according to manufacture specifications.

10.  WARRANTY VOID if any part or parts assembled by remanufacture are dissembled by other than remanufacture, without notification.

TIPS

1.  Add (3) quarts of oil to crankcase and (1) to valve chamber through distributor hole.  four quarts total.

2.  24 hours before starting add one to two squirts of oil to cylinders through spark plug holes to lubricate cylinder walls, pistons, and rings.

3.  Ensure proper spark.

     Ensure gas flow                                     If all three correct engine will start.

     Ensure proper timing.

4.  After starting check for leaks, do not let engine over heat.  Ensure proper water and oil levels and flows.

5.  Retorque head to 50 lbs.  After warm up and at 100 miles.

THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR

1.  Weak, broken or faulty spring and plunger

2.  Proper length flywheel bolts.

3.  Do not idle engine to break in.  This can cause loss of lubrication to cylinder walls and damage to engine.

4.  Avoid long cranking times.  This can gas wash cylinder walls,  which is loss of lubrication and can cause damage to engine.

5.  If using larger intake valves ensure clearance between head and valve.  The high compression Snyders head we sell does have ample clearance.

NOTES

1.  Head gaskets are not warranted.
 
2.  Repairs made to engine and or car that are due to our fault are chargeable, this can include diagnostic time.
