The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.

VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

In my '34 21 stud motor a rebuilder gave me a .125 over bore and now I can't seem to keep it running ... water continually fouling out one cylinder and I've installed new head-gaskets three times now ... what are your thoughts???

.125 overbore? not .0125, could have gotten into the water jacket, usually down near the engine pan rail, if you have had the heads off three times, I suspect a bad bore job or pin holes due to rust a bottm of cylinder bore

fill engine with water, take plug out of "fouling" cylinder bore, use a air hose with a rubber tip and with the rad cap off, blow air into the cylinder and see if the air comes out in bubbles thru the rad water,remember cylinder needs to be a bottom of stroke

If the piston is at the bottom of stroke, won't one of the valves be open ???

The best guess is that there is a sand hole somewhere along the bore of the leaky cylnder due to a slight mold shift during casting that was opened by the boring bar. This is not uncommon when overboring exceeds .060 Ford had problems of this kind, and went to sleeving to salvage othewise lost blocks. When the salvage yards were full of blocks we used to go through several to find one that would take a big oversize bore.
