They are breaking a p2 and have seats

That's great. I'll try it later.

My seat squabs were really tough like hard card and I softened them with neatsfoot oil.
But yours sound pretty far gone.

Thanks for that.
What language is the article in and is it possible to translate?
Photos are useful though.
Thanks again Vince

Hello all.

Not sure that the oil pump would be up to the job and not sure where I'd Plumb it in either.
Thoughts?

Thanks for the replies. I thought of using a monograde running in oil initially then using the must grade so it's good to hear that others are using multi grades. I have checked the oil pump and all seems good and although this isn't the first engine I have rebuilt, it is the first 'old' engine so I...
