I dropped by a restorer house and asked him about my engine.
Spitting out oil out the exhaust pipes. Excessive oil usage. He suggested adding a bit of diesel fuel. Said it might help with removing carbon from heads,etc. Long story short: Car ran way way cooler at 75 MPH. Engine revved so smoothly up to any RPM. Whats the deal???. Topped up tank,now back to normal. I am a believer though,engine sounded like a new motor for a while. Anyway seems worth mentioning,was really surprised how my car could run. Cheers. |

You add the diesel to the fuel tank.
I had less than a quarter of a tank,so I added 1/2 cup of diesel to the tank. Engine temp dropped drastically,could not get it over 1/2 mark going 75 MPH.I can assure you this is not how it runs normally.Car never got above 1/2 mark. Also car felt like it could rev to 6000 RPM,was really crazy. I am about to rebuild motor and was hoping he would do it for me,so I had nothing to loose trying it. This is not a back yard mechanic who told me this,he is a real mechanic,who has been working on old cars his whole life.At a shop. Anyway pretty weird. |
