1925 roadster engine rebuild

Post by TGuy87 » Wed Mar 25, 2020 6:10 pm

Hello. First off new member here. Have 1925 T roadster for year now and looking for engine rebuilder close to Pittsburgh Pa. did everything possible to make engine not run terrible but final compression test and weak magneto tells m e time for an overhaul. Called people out of town and was crated and ready to ship but figured I ask if anyone closer to my city that I could just take over by truck? Thanks

Kevin Prus is the guy to talk to. His engines are the best running and have proven reliable over many miles of touring. I live in Butler Pa just north of Pittsburgh and have a very active club. Let me know if you are interested in joining!

A guy in town has a 14 touring with an engine Kevin Prus built. Smoothest engine I’ve ever heard run. It’s been on the ocean to ocean tour with a little over 5000 miles on it. A true work horse.

It's handy that Kevin's shop is less than 10 miles from Snyder's Antique Auto Parts.
