About bits of broken washer having fallen into your engine: This is the fiber washers, not the steel ones? If you don't already have one, install a magnetic oil drain plug and you'll probably find the bits if it was steel! I forget what the filter setup is like on a '65, but it's just a screen, not a paper filter, rightt? I suppose the fiber bits could clog some tiny oil galley, but if they were falling apart where they were, I imagine they should fall apart in hot, pressurized oil. It might be worth changing the oil and checking the filter for bits. Good Luck! On Fri, Aug 18, 2017 at 7:21 PM, Kevin Guarnotta <kevin at guarnottadesign.com> wrote: > OK, I have found a problem.
