Re: Marvelmystery oil blow up??

When I was also a teenager, my bow tie buddy worked at his dad's service  
station and he would do that when he changed oil, but idle, no way! he would  
zing that poor small block to the sky a couple of times and then shut it 
down  drain and refill with oil and down the road we would go.

Speaking of clean engines, when I was a teenager an old timer  lectured 
me on changing oil.  In his heyday, cars did not have oil  filters, so 
every time he changed oil he would pour one quart of kerosene  in the 
engine and idle it for a few minutes, then drain it.  Anybody  ever tried 
this?
