Fantastic! May be a bit too fantastic for a vintage engine that is quite sensitive though... I don´t dare to experiment with the fuel/oil ratio. But the ammount of oil is not the whole story for a two-stroker. Oil is money, but so is fuel! I hope "on/off driving" can save some fuel. Perhaps tuning the exhaust can do more, but that´s a quite complicated thing to do. Fitting three huge zuccinis under the hood and connecting them to a long pipe is difficult.

In the end I will most likely replace the TT for a small diesel but I definitely have to see how much I can improve the TT first and it´s still a long way before my project car is ready for the streets.
