Museum projects
I am a volunteer member of the "pit crew" at the ACD Museum in Auburn,IN. We service the cars in the Museums collection. We also prepare cars for long term storage, or prep them for upcoming shows and events. The fun and interesting part of the job is the wild variety of things we get to see and work on each week.
1931 Auburn 8 cylinder engine rebuild
These are photos of the engine being dissembled.The Engine is from a 1931 Auburn 4 door Sedan.The car is the Museum's "Education Car", that was used for Parades,Events,and giving rides to people in an "Old Car". It is a nice car, but was definitely showing its' age in the power department. Poor power, low compression, and finally a "Knock" had her headed to 'Sickbay'.We discovered a broken #1 Piston, and decided to pull the engine for repairs and 'freshening up'. They are in no particular order,I hope that you enjoy seeing a Lycoming "eight" apart!
