I've also heard that if you include a little MiracleGro in it that it will turn a Windsor in to an FE....

The oil can and garden sprayer sound to be on the right track.

Volume out of a squirt-oiler is pretty small...the Hudson sprayer type garden pump, especially a small one no more than a quart or two, may have some possibilities.

Something that can store the fluid you don't use till the next fluid change. Also cheap enough to have several, on for 90W for the Jaguar diff in the Cobra and one for synthetic 75/140 synthetic for my Jeep Grand Cherokee that seems to demand endless fluid changes. PITHA.

Now...MIRACLE GROW...great stuff...used it on the crankshaft...now I have a 347" stoker.

Really don't want an FE in the FIA car, but...could any of the "alchemists" out there that can suggest something to spray on the cast iron block that transmutes it to ALUMINUM? (Gold would be OK to).

Pete

Pete, The Amsoil pump IS what you want. It is very cheap- $11.95, comes with different size extensions for different depth bottles, two size screw tops for diff size bottle top threads, about 3' of hose, & little adapter to get in small fill holes! It screws on to the bottle and can stay that way till the next use. Do yourself a favor and check the website. I listed, in earlier post, how to find it, Kinda tricky!
You won't be disappointed.
