[QUOTE="jeepjoe43, post: 430891, member: 19255"] Has been pretty quiet around here... Lubes do bring up a subject I'm curious about, have others had experience with Polymer oils, like Slick 50. 40 years ago my dad was a distributor for a product called "NRG" by the Ariel corporation, prior to to Slick 50. Don't know what happened to them, but I saw their product do some miraculous things with "wiped out" small engines. Fast forward 15 years, I Slick 50'd the 2.0 in my '43. A year later I poked a hole in the oil pan and wheeled it 8-10 miles back to the shop without a drop of oil in the motor. Granted, I never went over idle and kept it in Granny, staying off the clutch while keeping an eagle eye on the temp. Never overheated. Got it back to the shop without any engine damage. I don't know if it was the engine treatment or my diligence that saved it, but I'm curious if anyone else has had a similar experience. [/QUOTE]
