Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1930 model a compression, cylinder compression, little car
Questionhello jack i have a 1930 model a and the cylinder compression measures very close to 50 lbs on all four cylinders while cranking it cold. i dont know if i am looking at a rebuild or can i expect to drive it a 4 0r 5 thousand miles. thank you
AnswerThat's good compression. Don't get hung up on 60psi. It will go a long way at 50psi.
Now get out and drive that little car. If it is making noises, then that is something else. I have been using that Rotella oil and my engines like it. Costs a little more but it seems to fit the A engine.
Good luck and get back to me if you need anything else.
