I hope you didn't part with the Vauxhall to fund this Shay Roadster purchase.

No sir Bob, went and bought me an american motors underslung, got a sleeve valve motor too. Darn sight better than some pesky foreign car that leaks oil and can't stop worth a damn.

Sounds like you got the original oil rectifier and all with that deal! Some guys have all the luck.

Merciful heavens! Don't get me started on the Skinner oil rectifier, Austie and others had the good sense to disable them and leave them only for show but Lester being ever the conservative, myopic traditionalist insisted upon my replacing it when doing the Falcon -Knight engine.
For those who don't know this moribund and egregious device would circulate the crankcase oil around an exhaust heated plenum to {theoretically} boil away the lighter viscosity contaminants such as gasoline.

It also destroyed the lubricating qualities of the oil in short order. Packard used it for a short while also but Willys clung to it much longer,which is not surprising as the sleeve valve motor as manufactured by Willys was a true triumph of workmanship over poor design. <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/image...lins/grin.gif" alt="" />
