50 miles per quartWell, after running the Series IIa up to Ottawa and out to Greeek Peak last year, it became apparent that having to top-off the oil twice as often as the petrol was not a good situation. With my commute, that was a quart of oil when I got to work, quart of oil when I got home. 
The RebuildI know I wasn't going to have time to tear it apart and get it together in one summer, so I decided to send it out to a local machine shop, with a fairly good reputation, but well-known for being 'slow'. We extracted the engine one cool Sunday in March, and I brought it out to the machine shop. Two weeks before they got to it they said. Two weeks to finish it then. Called them up the end of April - "Hey, I'm goingon vacation in three weeks, if it is done by the Friday before I'll pick it up, if not, you get to live with it 'til the end of June." The Wednesday before, they called and said they'd opened it up.
Three weeks in Scotland and Italy, the Birthday Party, and the SPAC Jazz
This weekend, Eric 'AB x231' Riston and I set out to put the 2.25l back into my '63 and we pretty much did that. I just need to replace the fuel pump (the check valves failed in storage), and put the wings and breakfast back so water can be hooked up, and that should be back this weekend.
Insulation ?We also changed the clutch master (the pattern one failed after about 2200 miles),
