Model A Ford 1928-1931 compression ratio = 4.22:1. A replacement "high compression" head from Brumfield raises the compression ratio to 5.5:1. You would not want to go any higher than that because the babbitt bearings and head gaskets will not hold up. You must use grade 8 studs and nuts because they need to be torqued to 65 Ft/Lb.

I have a question for you. I have a 1931 Model A engine that was great running until the piston failed. The wrist pin poked two holes the size of a quarter in the cylinder. Is it possible to sleeve a block with this type of damage? Is it even close to being cost effective? Appreciate a response. I love your vids, by the way!! Keep them coming!! Dave

A sleeve makes perfect sence for this repair. Cost is in the $150-$170 region.
