Flathead burn oil
Just curious both my cars are very old builds (over 30 years). Neither burn any oil. Are flatheads less prone to burn oil?
Leaks I have first hand knowledge

No more prone than any other. Count yourself as one of the lucky ones.

Re: Flathead burn oil
Truth is all engines burn oil. It is just a matter of if it is very little or a whole bunch. If yours is a "burns very little" then that is great..... unless you also have no oil pressure and then that is bad....

Usually, I put ZERO faith in products like this but it's actually done a lot to stop my 59L engine from leaking out the rear rope seal. |
