hursst Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Hello, I have a 1930 Plymouth with the 4-cyl engine. The engine has internal oil leaks of some type and is fouling the plugs quite badly, probably valve guides or piston rings or both, I'm guessing. I would assume it will need machining as well. The internals of the engine most likely have 40+ years of carbon, scale, and sludge inside as well. It's time for a rebuild, or at the very least, to take the engine apart and give it a good once-over. I have a few places in mind, but can anyone recommend a good shop from anywhere from Richmond, VA to maybe Baltimore, MD that could take on a job like this, preferably a place with its own machine shop? Thanks for any thoughts and advice! -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_padavano Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Two suggestions, depending on where you are in VA. I use Gunther's a lot since it's closer to me.

Jim Yergin Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 I used Dave Lucash in Warrenton, Va. He rebuilt the engine in my 1941 Plymouth and my 1956 Thunderbird. Nice guy, very pleased with his work. https://www.lucashracingengines.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
