Thanks for the info interesting stuff, the oil pressure on mine has always been very good , gets up to 60 PSI in les than 10 seconds on a cold start , I think I will take it for a short drive when it stops raining over here and i can get it out of the field and see how it looks then, as...

Hi... Have been toying about with the deuce and noticed that there does not seem to be much oil to be seen when removing the oil filler cap when running , i have only checked when it has been cold and not after a run , question is how quickly would you expect to see oil coming out from...

Still works for me ?

Took the front wings off to start tackling the rust in the door sills , got most of it cut out just need to start bending some sheet and weld it on .

Simple guide Gear oil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Just becuase an oil has EP addtive does not make it wrong , the addative helps it to its job even better how can this have an adverse effect ? Untill someone can show me the adverse effect of EP on these axels i will use it , What...

SAE 50 is a straight grade and 80/90 is a multi which has viscosity modifiers in it which allows the oil to be thinner when cold allowing better cold lubrication properties , once it warms up the additives maintain the viscosity better than a straight grade thats why straight grades were dumped...

Interesting , in the UK i dont think we can even get GL1 only GL4 and GL5 i had heard all the previous guff about gl5 being unsafe for yellow metals but now most the suppliers have GL4 / GL5 combined lubes , there was a simular rant which went on in the stationary engine groups re old vs modern...
