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

Elden-
     Your opinion is a very good one----my  dad and my uncle both had one 
of the hit-miss!   They used them on the  water-well pumpjacks--(which I did 
acquire---)---    Both  were  Stovers----     they would yank the head  off, 
 remove the piston assembly and really clean it up good,  then  stuff it 
back together (same rings etc)---,   adjust the  rod-shims,  then let 'er rip 
for another maybe 2 years or so!  My dad  ran his (4hp)  rather slow,  but 
my uncle (his brother),  ran the  crap out of his-----HIGH RPM's----I need to 
re-do the babbits on that  one---ha!   It is a 5hp----but luckey for me, I 
ended up with all of  it,  pumpjacks and all----sure is fun stuff!   Guess 
it don't  hurt to clean them up now and then!
  Take care all---
