A Street Sleeper is reborn! THE END

[procta]

well looks like this may need an engine rebuild sadly, the past few days the oil stem seal problem has got worse, while out, the car would smoke a little if that, but now it is well frequent sadly. We are losing power, due to the oil pressure starting to drop, I asked my mot tester if he could have a quick look, and he said give it a rev, and he said, I think you going to need to revert back to the thinker oil you ran, last year and with the stem treatment, the oil I am running now is 10w 40 mag, what I run in the HDI. The tester said these engines are getting on now, so parts are starting to wear a little. I recon that this engine has done more than 51k on the clock, than I was told. I think we could be talking lot more than 100k plus if the oil stem seals are failing, or its had very, very hard time before it came to me, as this engine, was in two maybe 3 different metros before mine. I know its been cared for at some point in its life, as the head was ported and polished. It might be even down to lack of use on my part, so it could just need a good oil treatment and f*ck off run, as it only came out to play two days a week, But with me now using my HDI for work, I can switch between the two now, I was hoping to give this a run for two weeks, but with the oil problem I don't think I will risk it at all, I may decide to give it another service again and put some of the treatments in it and see how we go.
