[TPR] Mach I engine progress

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Yea, smudgy waxy buildup.  I've seen other engines look like this and they end up being just fine.  This is what I saw years ago on an engine and the owner told me they used Pennzoil and changed oil regularly.  It's why I've never used Pennzoil.  But yes, probably non-detergent.
