no more oiling problems.

After I shut it down I drained the fuel system, removed all the lines for a shot of air then WD40. Same for the nozzles and barrel valve. Oil only had 7 passes, so I got it up to 215 or so to evap anything in it. Gave it a good shot of fogging oil when I was shutting it down. Left the water in it. I put antifreeze a couple of weeks ago. Will go back to straight water to race but the antifreeeze is good for keeping water pump seals from drying out.

SWEET!

Whos the guy with the maverick Dave?
