1950 8BA Oil Gusher
My 1950 Ford Custom was driven only 400 miles since 1987 until June 2017 . When I got it I changed the oil and put SAE 30 in it . I have driven it 4,000 miles since July . It uses an average 1 quart of oil every 150 miles , and also uses coolant. Has not overheated .Also bought an aluminum radiator . I took off the heads and intake manifold and cleaned under the intake .Did not see any cracks at all . Motor has 56,000 original miles . Does not smoke and runs well . Would using 20-50 oil with Zinc make this engine use less oil and less coolant ?Can anyone tell me what my next step should be? THANKS IN ADVANCE , Bruce
