[SEL] Non-detergent Oil--The Rest Of The Story

[Judge Tommy Turner]

I've figured this out folks.  We need to find out the brand of oil Dave
used.  I've got several old hunks of iron here that have a great deal of
blow by.  The bore on the cylinder is worn out.  If Dave's oil will
"tighten" them up, then we've got an overhaul in a can!  Come to think
of it, this stuff may be good for other uses as well.

I would tend to think that if non detergent oil is the problem it 
might really boil down to a particular brand from a particular 
refiner. Not all refiners crack from the same crude stock. So there 
may be characteristics from that which come into play. A paraffin 
based crude is generally accepted as being a crude that produces the 
best lubricants. But another 30W ND could be made from a 
Asphaltic-Base crude.   And too refiners are not all the same.
