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. |

So I took the 914 down the 495 to the 106 today, paying particular attention to the head and oil temps. Not bad. AFR in the upper 12's, oil at 195- 200.
On the way home I stopped and added 1/2 gallon of deeezl to approx 3/4 of a tank. Got some sideways looks as I pulled up to the pump in a perpendicular fashion between two SUV's.Was slow pumping with the diesel nozzle being bigger than the tank hole...then hit the road.
