Subject: Pietenpol-List: Model A receivedHi Pieters,I just picked up my Model A rebuild from Antique Engine Rebuilders of Skokie IL. Rich the owner is a good guy and easy to work with. I bought a run-out on Ebay last summer for $100.00. This turned out to be a good find because it wasa "diamond" block. It is identified by a small diamond shaped casting mark on the valve cover side of the block. I was told it signified that it was madeafter the main production runs for the "A's" was over, and improved in some ways. Drove up and picked it up in Blue River WI. $2700.00 bought me new pistons and rods, modern insert bearings, oversize intake valves, and counter-weighted crankshaft. The counter-weighted crankshaft was recommended tome by Ken Perkins. He says you need it for a "good strong" engine. Now I will build it upwith an aluminum 8 plug head and dual mags. I got the dual mag drive set-up from Ken.
