Hi Ol' Pard,

I've told this story before, but like to repeat it just to prove my point.

Knew this fellow one time who was going fishing up in the wilds of Plentywood, MT. Clear the heck and gone out from nowhere. Drove a little overhead cam outfit. A Ford Escort or some darned thing.

Anyway, this guy is 90 miles from home out in the boonies and hits a rock which put a small hole in his oil pan. There he is, the middle of the night and he's stuck facing a 90 mile walk. (Before the days of cell phones).

Anyway, he plugged up the hole in the pan with a common rag. Filled the crankcase with water out of the fishin' hole and drove on home.

Next morning, I helped him yank and repair the engine pan, put in a fresh filter/oilpopped 'er off and the little car was still runnin' about the countryside the last I knew. :>)

Iron doesn't care. It just needs some sort of a liquid lubricating agent to keep those movin' metal parts separated from one another. :>)

Allan
