I recently acquired a Model "A" longblock in pretty good shape. I have amachinist who's going to rebuild it, and while he's rebuilt many in thepast, this'll be the first one for an aeroplane. What are the criticalthings I should be considering? Any general advice or recommendations?Thanks in advance, Ray.________________________________________________________________________________

Ray, I just found two (more) A's in Alabama I'm going to pick up next week. Thefirst two blocks I bought were no good, so I put the word out for "complete"motors that were rebuildable. Up to this point, I didn't pay much attention to tips I read on rebuilding,but now, like you, I am all ears.Ron E.________________________________________________________________________________
