Re: Fuel Dilution of Crankase Oil
Clem,Remember the 68 BB blue convertible I had new? Well in 1970 the engine was toast for exactly what you mentioned. Nice thing was the 68 had a 50,000 mile warranty so GM replaced the block but not the heads. Timmy installed the engine and said the carbs were the cause of the failure. I hated those three twos in the old days. So I put block off plates on the end two carbs and ran the car for several years on a two barrel and the car screamed and ran perfect.
I warned Stu about hydraulic lockup. Hope our friend listens. Right before Fall Carlisle an FI customer of mine send me a pic of his 58 FI engine connecting rod. It was broken in half from lockup. After the incident he put on a siphon breaker kit. JD
