I don't know if an upper cylinder lubricator had anything to do with the following or not. But it is one of the differences in the equation. I have a 47 Custom Super 8 and a 49 super 8. The 47 has a MM oil upper cylinder lubrication system, the 49 does not. Both were stored for approximately 9 months. Both were started about every three weeks and run until the engine was up to normal operating temperature. Following this extended storage, I started both cars for a season of car shows. The 49 had sticking valves n four cylinders. I had to take it apart to remedy the problem. The 47 had not problems at all.
