Have a 1934 Ford two door deluxe sedan Vineyard Green (original car ) looking to get this engine rebuild would like to find somebody in my general area of Rhode Island. Engine runs fine but it smokes when you give it any gas. Looking for a stock rebuild. thanks raymond_cabral@cox.net

Do you know if your engine has Babbitt main bearings? It's pretty hard to find a machine shop that can pour Babbitt these days. Maybe just a ring and valve job will do for you....

Not sure if they are Babbitt main bearings in my motor, did speak with a gentleman from New York that would make the needed Babbitt bearings we had a great conversation. Not that I don't want him to rebuild my 34's engine just looking for somebody closer to home. Now from what your saying there is more to rebuilding this engine the correct way than I thought. thanks grilledstripedbass

grilledstripedbass , what color smoke are you seeing, black, blue or white? Black indicates excess fuel, white indicates a coolant leak and blue indicates oil usage. You should also have a dry and wet compression tests made on the engine to determine if the engine needs a rebuild.
