Web Forum for Singer Cars

my question concerns the 4A motor and the article you referenced is for the 4AD. Are the torque figures the same? I did find a ref on our site to torque figures suggested by Bill Haverly but I couldn't find his article.

Hi Folks, On the advice of my local gurus(including the guy at a machine shop that rebuilds engines) , I used the following procedure to clean out the engine block. 1.

TIA,
Charlie
