My Castrol R comment may not have been very clear. Some people that I knew,
who were driving their street cars with mineral oil in the crankcases, would
pour a cup of Castrol R in their gas tanks to get the sweet racing smell. My
thoughts were that an infinitesimal amount of Castrol R may blow from the
combustion chambers past the rings, enough to gum things up.
