Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Castrol R, you were flush,or did you cheat and put it in the petrol. For the younger generation Castrol R was a vegatable oil used by most people on the track,it left a great smell behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest catweazle (Banned Member) Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 i cant remember which way round it was but if you went back to mineral oil i think you had to strip the engine and clean it well,or the otherway round otherwise it reacted.

If you went back to mineral I think. Actually castor oil was considered better than mineral in those days, as it hung on the metal longer, something to do with molecular construction or summat. Only trouble was it could cause damage internally if left in the engine for a long time, acid attack comes to mind. And it was gummy when burnt on.
