I've got a 1952 ford 8n. After I finish restoring the sheetmetal and body work, and incedentals, I'll probably service it.
I've heard just about every type of oil sugested for this engine ( flat head 4 cyl - gas ).
I guess originally they used a non detergent oil... but guess there wasn't anything else.
Any ideas? sae 30wt or sae 40 ? Might help with slightly worn rings.
thanks
