Re: speedster project. Craveroiler/Marvel Mystery Oil
Hudson, When the incoming air passes thru the oil, the air gets saturated with oil as the bubbles vaporize the oil. I assume that the more air you allow thru the oil, the more saturated the air becomes and the more oil saturated air is going to the intake and mixing with the incoming air/fuel ratio.

Re: What lube do you use on your Rajo or other overhead
Thanks for all the suggestions. The 4 valve rocker arm cover is unique that there is no back to it. It does help some as to the "spray" of oil from the rockers. I was also concerned about the thicker oil not going where it was needed, so I guess Ill stay with my 30 weight oil Im using... Its not un-...

What lube do you use on your Rajo or other overhead
Since the Speedster project is now running, Its time to think about driving it. I have been oiling the push rod guides and the valve stems with my little pump oiler. But it is a real mess each time. I know that this thing is going to be an "oily beast" but I hope to keep it to a minimum. The Rajo 4 ...

Re: Speedster Project Update, "Its Alive" "again"
Duet, I'm not sure what that was. I have a big double blade fan that has 12 separate blades. It moves a lot of air. You can see it blowing my shirt at times. So the fan probably picked up a piece of trash on the floor. I hope to get the AC brakes hooked up soon, and then try to get it out of the sho...

Terry, It has been a long road since I got the head from you. I always felt like the head would just give a little more power and ad a "cool" factor to the speedster project.
