Is the current wisdom, regarding Model A engines, that counterbalancing, bearing inserts, and a
pressurized oil system are desirable and worth the extra cost when having an engine rebuilt -
especially if that engine will sport a high-compression head and downdraft carb? Also, is it true that
the latter engines built with the counter-balanced crankshaft, often referred to as a "Model C", have
problems with the crankshaft breaking?
