The reward you can find on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnCDc82RGaIn howerver she failed on mathematics this semester. But possible because she got sick, her results in scool were not as good as normal.

Wel, thanks for al the reactions, but not quiet to the point. I explaned my 14 year old daughter how an engine works, and she came with folowing solution. If you remove the sparkplugs, put a leaf (of a tree) on the hole, turn the engine, the leaf wil blow of wen presure builds up, (or sucked in). so, the leafs wil blow of in a sudden folowing order, and you know wich cilinder build up presure in the wright folow order. this order should be the same as the ignition order........... Smart or not. it works. just take care the leaf does nog get sucked in the the engine.............

Thanks Bleach, how ever i find it strange that this valve became longer and the others a bit schorter as i noticed the required 0.015 or 0.013 play increased. Wil have to do a valve job i gues. but maybe i could replace them by adjustibel valves? is there a difference between valves for a model A and Model B ? rgds.

i did ride this car for over 7 years, how come the stems get longer? But now i understand wy fuel consumption increased. if i understand correct grind down the downer part ? thanks.

The car was not sitting for a long time. I drove it and onley a few days later did not run good. than i cleaned the carb, and after nothing at al anymore. Chequed the carburator several times to see if i did anything wrong. I did try with fuel directly in to the spark plug hole, with onley a big bang (sometimes) as result or nothing at all. the sprark is made by magneto, and can onley revese 180° if you put it wrong. but i did not remove it in the first place. later i did to clean the magneto inside. a litle oil was in the platinum point case. so i was hoping problem solved, but no. stil the same.

Hello, I wanted to adjust a valve on my model A ford (with B ford blok) But dont understand how to do it. Grind it down? there are no screws ?

thanks dave. the problem is not lack of spark. I drove the car in januari, no problems. i parked in the garage and now it wont start. cleaned the carburator, sparkplugs, chequed the compresion, cleaned the magneto. nothing works. onley thing i noticed is the compresion on first cilinder is 0,5 more than the rest. 2,3,4 have 3,5 and 1 has 4 kg so i was thinking maybe the ignition timing was moved somehow? an other question poped up. as i was measuring the compresion, i chequed also my model a FORD; I NOTICED NO COMPRESION ON CILINDER 2; i just chequed the valve clearence and notice number 4 has no clearence. i want to adjust it, but there are no screws. than i remember i dont have a model A block, but a Model B. is there special tools for this to adjust the valves. ? i wil start an other topic on this. for the model A i found a nice video, bun on the model B nothing yet. thanks again.

Hello, i have a problem with my oakland that does not want to start anymor. I dont have the info of how the ignition timing should be. wat is the folowing order for cilinder firing, 1-2-3-4 or wat? thanks for all replies. rgds.

Thanks for the manny visits.
