Hello to all,

First, I want to thank all who responded to my query about the crankcase
systems that use exhaust for to produce vacuum. I have a dry sump system,
three stage evacuation, and a closed breather system with a vacuum/pressure
valve. I thought the oil pump would produce enough vacuum, but was still
blowing oil out the front of the motor, I think the front seal, during
Speedweek. After our teardown, I think it was too much blow-by that was the
problem. Will try it again at the WOS as is with the refreshed engine and if
I still have a problem will move on the exhaust vacuum systems.

The reason for this post is that a friend of mine that is getting his
Studebaker ready for the salt needs a pair of 18" by 8.00, 30 inch tires,
new or used. If anyone has a lead get back to me. Thanks!

Tom, Redding CA - #216 D/FCC
