Very realistic appraisal I think. I am rebuilding the engine in the ‘31 because I want a reliable driver. It had two different-design pistons and cracked Babbitt it the two rods I looked at, and obvious crank journal wear. I seriously doubt it will ever see enough use to wear out; rather it will be subject to deterioration due to sitting unused and due to time.
