RCGF 26cc in a goldwing Extra 260 which is not working very well, a DLE 20CC ra in a TF P-40, and the Spitfire has a DLE 20 regular exhaust system on it.

Yes, castor does make a mess, but it serves a purpose. As mentioned earlier, it handles heat better than anything else we have found to lube our engines. IF you would happen to have a prolonged lean run, you would be very grateful to have castor in the mix, maybe half castor, half synthetic. It also works well in bushed engines.
