Dave i sure rode my share of beesa's back in the day and lucas electrics and wiring have a lot to answer for...i don't care how good the engine was(and they were not usually) How the japs finally spoiled us eh? even mach 3's and 4's were good!
I'm sure that if we did nothing except for set the valve lash periodically the engines wouldn't need any help from us. I'm also sure that most of us are still going to oil up something when we are in there
Still, there have been a couple of reports of the top ends and cam gears being found bone dry like they had never, ever seen oil. I'm not about to dispute what those guys said they found. It just makes you wonder sometimes.
Mach 3's? Those missiles would do a wheel stand at 70 mph just by rapping the throttle a little.
