    I run 3oz per gallon of Pennzoil full synthetic in my motors.
    I still have 9 gallons so I’m good for a couple years.
    Most all my motors are bushing motors including this
    1939 Fleetwin,
    Bushing – Crankshaft Rotary Valve , Model 4335.
    Why is there detergent oil today? This is why?
    The junk non-detergent of the past is the reason these
    rings were stuck (video) and the motor was full of carbon.
    4 stroke crankcase oil is not meant to be mixed with
    gasoline. Two cycle oil is. Running a heaver oil than you
    need only creates more friction shortening the life of a motor.

    A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
