That's the kind of engine I look for at swapmeets. No castor crud--not interested.[8D]
So do you still run your car engine on 1920's oil and de-coke it every 10000 miles?
Of course you don't. The reason car engines last like they do is partly to do with CNC manufacture but mostly because modern lubricants are far and away superior to oils of yesteryear. Especially the modern synthetics.
I don't know what synthetic oil is available to you guys outside of Europe , but as Jaka indicates castor oil is losing favour in Europe.
