I see someone else beat me to it but what are/were the oil viscosities you used? I started my B engine on Castrol 20W-50 and that's what I'm still using. I still have 50 lbs hot at idle after 10,000

I doubt that the Mobil 1 has much to do with the low oil pressure. 10W-30 is 10W-30, dino or syn. Are you sure of the pressure gauge? Might be a good idea to put a direct acting gauge on it and see w

Well written but the info on cranking and flow test methodology looks to be flawed. Also, the article makes the case for using 5W oil and then reaches the opposite conclusion. I'd say the author didn

Glad you seem to have found the root of your battery problem. One note on your starting procedure. If your engine has the original Z-S carburetor, you're wasting your time pumping the gas pedal. The

I was surprised to find out that my '69 B's oil cooler and hoses hold only a fraction of a quart. I thought it would be a lot more. Peg's new Toyota Prius has a 1.5 litre 4-valve/cyl OHC engine with

You got me wondering about Jetta mileage, so I went and checked the EPA ratings. A diesel 5-spd Jetta is rated 47/36; the gas version is 31/24. We all know that the EPA ratings are pie-in-the-sky num
