Re: Ultrasonic cleaner
I do. I use it for soaking carb bodies in Evaporust, or brass parts soaking in clock cleaning solution.

Re: Pic of #4 rod/bearing.

Re: Engine Oil
My engine rebuilder recommended Valvoline VR-1 high zinc racing oil, 10W-30. Given what I spent on the rebuild, I follow his recommendations.

Re: Replacing Rear Drum Seal
I use a big screwdriver to remove the seal. Brattons and other suppliers sell a tool to install the new seal to exactly the correct depth.

Re: Replacing Roadster Door Lower Seal
I chipped the old seal out of the driver’s door this afternoon and cleaned the channel up. I’m ready to attempt to install the new seal in a few minutes.
