Mark,

I doubt very much if you'd be picking up any aluminum particles, as many
modern engines use so much of, but our Tigers ARE those BIG V-8's, which
is why we bought them, right?

So, if you do not have a good filter, or it's been clogged, so it
by-passes the lubricant, or the particles are smaller than the filter
media can catch- like when it tears a hole in the paper, where are those
particles now?

Anyone seen those for sale for Fords?

Remember those little propeller doo-dads that were sandwiched in a carb
base gasket? Wonder if they whistled, like my Captain Midnight Secret
Decoder Ring? Wonder where the propellers went when the gasket let them
go? Anyone have a set for a 4 barrel Holley?
