- I've got a '72 MGB that uses oil as if it were gas. I tried manipulating the smog control devices on my own, to no avail, hoping it would be a quick temporary fix. Now I'm left with two possibilities

- Oil loss can be mysterious. I'm trying to explain some suddenly outrageous consuption myself, like 50 miles/quart. It's gotta be a leak to lose that much, since there is no blue smoke at all, but I h

- Don't borrow one buy one. This is the type of tool you will (or should)use at least once a year. You can get one for 10 bucks or so. ...Art
