Hi everyone:

I hope someone has an answer to this:

I recently purchased a used motor from one of our list members (Thanx
Roland!).  He got it from a 79B he was parting out.  The thing is, neither
of us know when the oil was last changed or what condition its in.

Can someone give advice on a protocol for flushing the motor of the old oil?
Roland suggested changing the oil & filter, running it for a short period,
dumping some Motor Flush in it, running it a little longer, then replacing
oil & filter again.

Any comments would be appreciated, since I hope to get my B back on road
this weekend...

Thanks all,


Jim 

'79 B just waiting to run.......

PS - I posted a message requesting info on how you can tell if a head has
hardened seats...  Any info on that too would be appreciated....
