  1. 1939 Studebaker, 250 cu. in. flathead 8cylinder, 3 1/16" bore. Installing new rings, Studebaker manual calls for .013-.018 Piston Ring end gap. Does that mean .018  at the top of piston travel and .013  at the lower end of travel?  I'm new at this.

  2. Saw your response, went to the shop, put together this set-up and let her rip. The upper brass tank had a 1 1/2" hairline crack. Used propane torch and body solder, 30/70, NO LEAKS! Thank you!

  3. How much, if any, cooling system pressure should a late 30's early 40's flathead, straight eight have. Trying a  DIY radiator repair and thought I'd pressure test it with air, WITHOUT blowing it apart. Any Help?

  4. Can someone explain the timing marks on my 39 Stude 250 cu in straight 8.   UDC 3-6   about 4" around the balancer,  UDC 1-8  about 2" away  INOP 1-8.  I know UDC= TDC
