Now what might you think is wrong Jim? She was completely
rebuilt 5000 miles ago by a major long time marine/auto
machine shop that has been in the area since I was a lad.
Hasn't burned one drop of oil since the rebuild. Gets the
expected 14-15 mpg on E-10. Don't drip nothing from the draft
tube after a long run, even on a cold day like we've been
having around here. Ain't using any anti-freeze. Don't smell
of gasoline or hot or oil when she's parked outside.
But closed up in a two car garage, she sure is stinky.
I think that's quite normal as Don points out.
I see by your profile that you list restoration work as your
occupation. What sort of restoration work do you do? I'm
always interested in how other's approach restoration. I'd like to see some pix of you work.
Here's a few of my resto projects.
