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. |
