- Hi all, The TR4A made it to Glen Ellen with very few mis-steps. After departing Flagstaff all went well to the Calif border. We even went up to 5500 in 4th for a while to escape someone following exc

- Glad to read that you made it, sounds like it was a great trip. I just rebuilt the engine for my spitfire. I have been told to use a racing oil with zinc. DO NOT use a zinc additive with modern dete

- Congrats Gerry! I've done extensive reading on the subject. Zddp has been removed from automotive oils to keep catalytic converters in top shape. Motorcycle, diesel, and some "racing" oils still have

- Sounds like a fun trip (except for the lack of fuel). Steve always kept that car in top condition so no surprise that the trip was uneventful mechanically. Just wondering if Steve's large Brit flag w

- According to their guy on the phone, Kragen in San Rafael has Delo 15/40 on sale for $11 a gallon. You might get you local store to match it. This sounds like a great option for my leaky/burny 1957 1
