RE: C&D finally admits the truth
Sounds like my friends 64 Dart GT...tappets would sing out as he drove it, as it had no oil getting to the top end...he asked a tech at the dealership about the issue....the tech told him NOT to change the oil, just add oil as needed...("If it's not broken...don't touch it, as it will start a long line of issues..) the poor Dart had over 200,000 miles on it, and maybe had a couple of oil changes in it's life time....engine was a 273 V-8
(As a side note, Dart was sold to a garage that parted the car out, saving only the clean front clip..sad end for a car that just kept on running....)
He later purchased a 4-door Aspen (ex-company vehicle) with small cop hub caps...it was a lot of fun as people would think we were undercover cops....he never had a bit of trouble with that Dodge..engine was a 318 V-8
