I have only one question, really.
Why?
I am rebuilding my engine because my oil pressure (warm) has dropped by
30lb and I am losing heaps of oil (blow through that I have tried
everything to halt) and she is getting sluggish. She is now over 100K
since last major rebuild - and I thrash the poor old thing on a race
track.
You are rebuilding yours yet state that "The car runs great now (60K),
no smoke or oil usage"
Is this just something you do every winter or have I missed something
here (and this is probably the case)?
If *my* car was "running great" and exhibited "no smoke or oil usage"
there is no way I would be spending money on a re-build when there are
plenty of other ways to spend money on her.
