- 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

- 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
