I found if you run slightly too much ignition advance it makes the engine carbon up a bit , knock back the timing and it burns really clean.

Home brew flathead v8 electronic ignition plate made from a 6 cylinder points plate with everything removed and some cutting and brazing, fuck me it goes well now, I moved the module for more advance.

They have a roller bottom end so only need a drop every now and then, just the cams need a constant flow

Yep and if you mess with trying to fix that it will probably blow up

My Ford was using more oil when it had wrong spring in the plunger,

Not necessarily,

Has anyone put antifreeze in a old engine with asbestos head gaskets? I can tell you it doesn't work with modern old asbestos free gaskets

I just took the engine apart with sprayed fiber face gaskets, I had to crank the engine over with the head loose ton blow the head off I am just worried The spray was why they were leaking

On my 1942 Mercury I am having has gasket problems, block and heads were mechied, got a set of Best Gasket copper sandwich head gaskets witch just wicked coolent, they had copper spray on them but the coolent just soaked thrugh the fiber, then I fitted a new set of Fal-pro gasket with were a nightmare and I had bubbels in the radator and water in the bore. All I can find is NOS asbestos head gaskets, they have steel reinforcement and steel fire rings, I am just worried about if I ever have to take the heads off again they will stick to the block and I will need to scrape them off, Should I use copper head gasket spray? I refuse to use grease or sliver spray paint, or should I slap them on dry?

Someone I know bought a 2 post off trademe and then when he rang the place to get it serviced they sed they had told that shop that sold it to scrap it, he got a refund

That's the only maltigrade oil that should be used In an old motorcycle
