I have read a few forumn messages about the Continential Engine being easily cracked.
Does anybody know if the same applies to the Standard engine?

Heat cracking is not a problem with the Standard Motors engine, normally it will only crack if it freezes and then it is just at the back of the carburettor around the block drain tap area.

I have a TEA20. To my knowledge, cracking is not a problem with the TEA20.

I suspect cracking in the Continental engine may, in part, be a result of incorrect engine heat management. Whilst a totally different engine in every way, Continental aircraft engines are renown for cylinder cracking if warm up or cool down is not correctly managed, the engine is subject to shock cooling or operated too lean.

I suspect that keeping the radiator clean (inside and out), idling the engine down in freezing conditions and not expecting a Little Gray Fergy to pull like a D9, must contribute to increased engine life.

We bought new a TE20 and later a TO30. We had the TO30 untill I retired in 2003. We never cracked the block in either tractor. We took care of our fergies and never run them at wot. Most of the time we run at about 1800 engine rpm. some less on a light load.
