Hi Al,
Just drive round and round HK lots of times
It didnt burn much oil, topped it up once then dropped it out when i got home and changed it.
Do you use AG970 much? Have you got it on a 3.7?

Re: NZ road trip 1400 miles on a 4.1
Was great to catch up with James and CZ. He has done a great job - 4.1 was fine as the are so smoooooth....
I had a 970 on the road for a brief time - had a 649 and Longman head and SC box with an old pawl lsd. Had a 4.1 as well and really flew! The need to be geared low I reckon.

Mine is using the 3.765 FD, I think only done 300 miles since rebuilt the motors, had changed oil once only! Right now busy running in the CCC replica GPH1C, is your box using the Clubman SC kit?

Here is a pic of one of the certificates I got from Trev,
There is a book of them plus newspaper clippings
Will look nice on the parcel shelf, if you show the car at a meeting

James, Thanks for asking the question anyway. Just carry on using and enjoying your car. You certainly have better weather than we do in the UK at the moment.....

Nearly 49 years after the car was first campaigned, I returned it to some good old fashioned hill climbing...
