Lets call this the end of this subject.
I think three weeks is long enough to have answered most all of the
questions and those that have followed our chronicles are either well
informed or very confused.
I'm leaving town for a few days (I hope) and I've sold my 81 Westy

The recent links:

More Than You Ever Wanted to Know About Motor Oil
and

Have most of the information we've been discussing if anybody missed a
few dozen of our post.
