[Running board trim]

I last ordered from L&L in October of 2018. Brad Landoll was my contact. It went well.

[Newbie looking for some parts - 1929 Buick Master 116 sedan]

Your car is not a 121" its a 116". Looks like a 29-27.

[Went junk hunting and found these.]

I took very little home. Went looking for 1929 parts, brought a little for it home.

[Coolant in oil...cracked block?]

I would definitely permanently bypass the oil cooler. A completely filled and pressurized cooling system should reveal a substantial leak soon . I have even left pressurized overnight.

[Coolant in oil...cracked block?]

To locate the coolant leak I would do the following. Remove oil pan. Remove spark plugs. Fill the block with coolant.Pressurize the coolant portion of the block to 5-10 lbs. After a few minutes rotate the engine by hand.If coolant exits a particular cylinder, then you know where to start. If coolant exits rod, main or camshaft journals then is probably the cooler. Pay close attention to the freeze plugs behind the tappet covers. The leak should reveal itself.

[1929 Dash Bezel Ring]

There was a listing in the July 1929 Buick Silver Anniversary newsletter from a fellow showing one for sale .

Bill Billado 802-985-2405. Please advise us of the outcome.

[1931 Buick 90 series]

Egge list the piston rings.

[1931 Buick 90 series]

I am pretty sure that the original pistons were cast iron or steel . Modern replacement pistons will be aluminum. Aluminum piston tend to grow with heat to close some clearances. This being said, I doubt that the pin offset will yield any significant engine noise reduction. Besides, there are plenty of other engine components that you will be hearing.

[Head bolts]

I am pretty sure that the 1929 Buick engine uses the same head bolts. Contact Tony Bult in Whitewater WI. He has them if anybody does.

[1931 Buick Sedan Series 60 throttle hookup and locating parts.]

Dave thats a really nice front floor mat. Who produced it?

[1/4" drive in cup plugs]

The smallest core plug offered by Dorman, who is the most common supplier of this type plug, only goes down to 13/32" in size. You might have to drill and tap your shaft, then use a threaded pipe plug instead.

[1928 Standard Roadster - Runnability Problem]

I call it the high speed jet metering pin. Search Marvel Metering Pin within the forum achives.

[1928 Standard Roadster - Runnability Problem]

One other thing that causes power loss after warm up are valves adjusted too tight. I have seen it on a few occasions.

[1928 Standard Roadster - Runnability Problem]

One of the most overlooked causes of low power and erratic running on the Buicks is the heat riser. The sheet metal tube can have a pinhole in it and driveability ad tunability goes out the window.

Search the forum. There are dozens of stories addressing this.

[29 Model 27 Vacuum Gasoline System]

I have a recently rebuilt 1929 Buick mechanical fuel pump available for sale.

Does your engine have provisions for mounting a mechanical fuel pump?

It is on left side,above oil pan rail and just ahead of the flywheel housing.

[Change engine from straight 6 to straight 8]

1930 40 Series heads are still out there. I believe a 1929 head will work. 1929 parts seem more plentiful. be sure to locate your other parts at the same time. Bolts, studs, gaskets, etc.

[1919 Buick Roadster]

My initial concern of using ball bearings in the valve train is that the bearing lacks the ability to endure the impact that valve train components must endure, largely due to valve lash. I have seen bearing races shatter due to impact and shock loading , a non ferrous bushing would have survived. Softer metals such as brass, bronze and copper wear faster BUT they are superior in absorbing impact loading.

[1929 Buick Model 27 Gas Cap]

The 1929 Buick uses a unusual sized fuel filler cap. I'm not sure what other applications used the same size and configuration. I don't have a Stant part number to assist in your search. Bobs Automobilia used to have those caps available. Tony Bult may have one.

[Lost My Ignition Key - 1929 Model 27]

Jessers Classic Keys can supply the old Briggs and Statton blanks. I dont recall what number the blank is. The retainer pin may have already been drilled. Have you attempted to lift the cylinder out with a sharp pick? Be careful as those lock cylinders are hard to find.

[Lost My Ignition Key - 1929 Model 27]

I could be wrong, but the hole shown under the lock originally had a pin which retains the lock cylinder. Once the pin is drilled out, the lock cylinder can be removed. Once removed, a locksmith can easily cut a new key for you.
