Changing from a not-at-all detergent oil might release deposits from the last decades all at one time, that would be bad. However, I think we are all running on detergent oil and have been for decade

Greg: Yes, this is true for engines in general, but not for the engines we are concerned about. The engines in our Triumphs are 1940's and 1950's technology. The TR6 engine, for example, was first pr

Removing the valve cover should give a very good indication of the status of sludge build up. I can remember many cars from the 50's that had a 1/4 inch layer of sludge build up. Trying to clean up o
