    Well, if this infact a ’54 QD, then I would definitely go with the 16:1, especially, since you just woke it up from a long nap. I have seen a lot of posting regarding the wrist pins in the first 10 years of the QD’s These are bushing bearings only and tend to wear prematurely. So the 16:1 is just better protection. Oil is the cheapest thing you will put into a motor. 😎
