My '69 B has that! I'm stunned to learn there is actually a use for that crazy split pin. Would idling the engine for a while on the B help in keeping my dad's driveway clean? Frank van Dalen

It's worth a try. You can test the before and after results via the high-tech "puddle on the paper" method I mentioned in my earlier message. Keep in mind, though, that the condition of the rear mai

It was a recent restoration with a fresh engine and the engine didn't lose any oil on the 3000 mi. return trip after they started letting it idle before turning it off. I'm told this is called a "gig

Has anyone else out there heard of this fix (no, not cleaning garage floors with Foster's - line boring to reduce oil leakage)? Will Z. and I swapped messages on this subject several weeks ago and, a

== Start the TC and run it for a while before you make overly-enthusiastic noises. I know several locals who have tried the Moss seal, including one professional T-type restorer/mechanic. No one has

Denise related: Only a quart per thousand miles in a TC!! I wouldn't even mention it. My seal-less B dumps twice that. I can imagine the slinger working *better* at crusing rpm than at idle but the "

A well-built T-Type engine can do a _lot_ better than that. Either Haines was going awfully fast, or his engine was awfully loose! It's a function of the oil slinger design coupled with the oil flow
