First thing I do is change all the fluids on anything I buy, record it in my maintenance book, then I know where I'm starting from. Oil is cheap compared to trashing a motor or pump.

It may be a partial testament to a great motor but it isn't realistic to think that this car ran with circulating sludge or without oil.

Before the car was stored, the engine was probably bagged out, long overdue for an oil change and burning oil to beat the band, but until all that totally contaminated oil sat for fifty years and that sludge settled out it would have had oil circulating, albeit heavy, so it wasn't as though it was running without oil.

Who knows if and what oil additives they might have tried to stop knocking or smoking before they shut her down.

What time did STP come along?

Nope, never seen sludge THAT deep -- maybe it had taken on water at some point too.

But then again, how many pans has anyone removed that sat with acidified filthy oil for 50 years.

But it could very well be the black crankcase award winner for "most sludge depth" ever recorded.

It's OK, you don't have to change your oil. I will however change my oil as often as I want to and absolutely nothing you say or do will change that. I rebuilt or replaced too many engines for customers who didn't think they had to change oil very often. Just like I will never buy a Toyota as long as they refuse to build them in men's sizes!

Ouch. I happen to think my Toyota is quite manly.

Did say it wasn't manly, I said they don't make em in men's sizes! They either lack leg room, head room or both.

Mine is a '05 Highlander and I must admit that at 6'-3" I do need the seat as far back as it will go. If my legs were any longer it would be uncomfortable to drive. Plenty of headroom though. They stretched the wheelbase by another 10" in '08 so the leg room is probably better now.

For the way it's used if it ain't the size with the passenger and cargo carrying capacity of a Suburban it isn't big enough. I come in at 6'5".

I get people mad at me in shoe stores too when I ask where the men's shoes are, size 15 or 16.

I liked '47 to '54 chev trucks so much I overlooked the fact that the cab was obviously designed for someone shorter than I.

One reason I like my Austin's with the 1500 motors is that I can sit up straight with my hat on and my knees are still 6" from the metal dash. I was talking about how much I liked the 1500's with their long stroke and 3 compression ring pistons and a mechanic said to me, "Ya, they've got bottom ends in them like tractors!"

I don't think his problems ended with an oil change. Did you notice how "silvery" that gunk got when he wiped the top off it? :shock:

 

[MRinMN]

Not that bad, but it is pretty ugly when it hasn't been opened in over 50 years. I had a tractor that dumped over a gallon of water when the tranny plug plug was first pulled. In the oil pans its always ugly, sludge and odd pieces of metal, little pieces of casting, washers, etc. Some you can figure out where it came from, some of it, who knows?
