Post Old SAABS & TDC

Oh yeah ~ Pops bought a brand new SAAB station wagon in.....1964 ? something like that, it had the two cycle engine and didn't have any method to inject the two cycle oil like all Yamaha Motos did at that time, every time you filled it with gasoline you had to pour oil in the fuel tank an d bounce the car by the rear bumper to make it mix .

It didn't sound too weird as it was well muffled .

The free wheeling as nice, it allowed clutchless up shifts but also could kill you going down steep hills .

Since one is expected to replace both vale stem oil seals oer cylinder at the same time, I'd use TDC instead of the exhaust or intake strokes, might as well hold both valves closed .
