  1. All oils are NOT the same. A gentleman with the most perfect 54 I have seen since they were new,lost TWO camshafts one right after the other,and with a NAME BRAND oil (which will remain nameless at this time). He was disturbed to say the least! I explained to him that zinc-dialkyl-dithiophosphate additive in oil protected the camshaft,and now and then a supplier "cheated"and told him this doesn't happen with my favorite brand.He switched to Valvoline and no more camshaft problem.

  2. When I mentioned it could be the vent, I should have mentioned one more thing. WATER in the transmission ! A leaking cooler will put water into your unit. The oil temperature can greatly exceed the boiling point of water,so steam will cause overflow also. To emphasize a point I mentioned earlier, If you find a Buick that has had an underhood fire,could have been a belching filler tube. Working on Dynaflows since 1947 (in Flint).Ralph Crisp BCA 2399

  3. I have about 50 "Rochester" kits which are for Rochester,Carter and Stromberg.but have no catalogue listing.If you can tell me the part number,I may have one.If you feel like gambling,I will sell you the whole works for $3 per kit.These were bought at a Buick-Rambler dealer sell-out
