If you really want an engine to last use an oil compressor, available
in the USA, so only available here by mail order from the US. It
maintains oil compression in a vessel. When the crank starts it spurts
the oil right through the galleries to the dry bearings, far faster
than the oil pump can do.


Sorry, I think that I have lost it here. You buy synthetic oil which is
"very difficult to compress". Then you buy an oil compressor to compress
this "very difficult to compress" oil? Is that right?

Is synthetic oil any less compressible than 'ordinary' oil?

(As a Saab driver, I am used to using orange gnat's ****. Works fine.
Labelled Saab so I guess that it must be recommended by them.)
