"Does Jim have any views on adding MMO now and then ? :-) "
You aren't suggesting that we're no longer in the era of top end lubricants are you ? ! ? A nice slow measure of Mystery oil, a drop or two every few seconds at high vacuum, a table spoon of Cod Liver Oil for the driver . . . and all's right with the world . . . of 1937.
What am I gonna do with my glass bottle AMPCO set-up now?
Around here, we have Jimbo, Mike Banner, Bill Cline, and one other guy in Plymouth who's name slips me, they ALL have these weird and wonderful solutions to problems that no longer exist. The debate still rages over the proper length of warm-up time, Bill subscribes to the "length of time that it takes to roll a joint" theory. It'll be kind of a shame when they're gone. We lost Don Berry a couple of years ago, he was another Pre-Skool guy who knew loads of stuff about how to "correct" the faults in VW engines.
It's a ton of fun to listen to these guys.
