May she rest in peace (in the garage, for a little while anyway).
I knew this day was coming when I first noticed metal chunks in the oil last year when I drained it, and every subsequent oil change.
"Lizzie" has decided to cough-up her main bearings.
Model T engines do this when they wear out. It still runs, these old engines will run right up to the point of ragged disentegration!
I can't take the chance of destroying the original, "matching numbers" engine block.
Time to ship her engine up to Mass., to the guy who does nothing BUT overhaul Model T engines and have the engine/trans assy. completely overhauled.
What the heck, it's only money, a few thousand dollars
, and she'll be better than new.
