Don't hold back, Farmer - tell us how you REALLY feel! :-)

(I am in complete agreement)

The Ford 2N is in the shop with the engine torn down. The crank if fine, 
but the pistons and liners are shot. Supposedly the liners can be 
removed with just some gentle force, but these seem to be not the 
original steel but cast iron replacements. My sleeve puller doesn't have 
a disk the right size, so I am going to have to resort to brute force of 
some kind. Then I can start on new liners & pistons and new bearing 
shells. The oil pump is in a bad way too, which would account for the 
low oil pressure.

The temperature has been in the low teens the last couple of nights, so 
I made sure that the two Cubs that don't have antifreeze were drained. 
Kind of early for those kind of temperatures in NW NJ in November.

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always 
so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts. -Bertrand
Russell, philosopher, mathematician, author, Nobel laureate (1872-1970)
