Hi Did an oil change the other day,
new filter plus spray bar.Cleaned as
much old oil off of the plastic insert
plus rocker cover.Used Castrol 15/40
magnatec and has made a difference
at cold start up.Used to have a very
slight knock at start up.
I know most folk say that the M40 engine
is not the best but when it runs without any
knocks it sounds ok.
The old girl runs lovely has a few rust probs.
to sort [nothing major]so I can't make my mind
up to change or keep.
