What is with the B B B? Is this keyboard Tourette's Syndrome or just a  
fluke?

Tim,

The big thing to get right is the oil.. the flat tappet  motors can
wreck a cam with inappropriate oil, and its all about the zinc.  There
is a company that makes proper spec oil for our cars.. they are  USA
based.. i cant remember off the top of my head.. but e-mail  buck
tripple he and all the vintage race boys use it (the brand is  someones
name i htink) they also have special flat tappet break-in oil..  i
would spend the $ and get that one.. sorry i cant recall the name  off
the top of my head.
