I would hate to see zero oil pressure or a fuel fire on one of those beautiful engines you built. Does he put miles on them, or mostly for show?
Hi Martin. I understand your concern. I have been building these little "big" engines for about 40 years now and have never heard or had problems with my copper fuel / oil lines? I'm sure if there had been any type of failures, I would have been the first to know. Not sure what vibration problems your dad had with his copper items. Maybe something else?.........
