    Non detergent motor oil????

    Like I said, Water in oil. Well, I guess you could try a procedure I use when an engine has not run in years, and I want to get oil into bearings, on cam lobes... Pull oil pressure sender and hook up a pump to the port. Pump in fresh clean oil. Keep pumping until it comes...

    Used Motor Oil as fuel?

    To sum it up, it is a pay me now or pay me later deal. Unlike a multi, the elastomers in the IP may not be able to handle WMO, requiring a rebuild. WMO has a lot of carbon, ash and heavy metals. That is why it is best to centrifuge it. If it is not centrifuged, there is a risk of coking up and...

    Non detergent motor oil????

    The white crud is water that mixed with oil. Figure the oil pump screen is at least partially clogged and sludged up. If you don't want to risk doing an engine rebuild, think about pulling pan, scraping crud out and cleaning pump screen.

You may be able to fit a large alternator under the hood to power it, but then the 1009 engine would have to be left...

    WC-51 Restoration or Bust!!

    WC-51 Restoration or Bust!!

    If you take your time, you can make one at least as nice as store bought, and better than original for very little money. Buy the color wires you need, lay them out and temporarily secure in place. If you think you may add loads in future, or convert to 12 volts, now is the time to go to a...

    Any suggested improvements on my WMO filter setup before I use it?

    I like your set-up. Personally, I would make 2 modifications. Pump suction several inches off bottom. A drain valve on bottom of barrel to drain settled water and sludge.
