In general cars with Ultramatic need to have good low speed torque to feel responsive on takeoff. Engines with weak rings and a lot of blowby have lost a lot of that low speed torque and can feel really doggy.



Ross, that is exactly what my engine felt like the first few times I drove it and when it was still smoking like hell. It felt sluggish and couldn't get out of it's own way on initial acceleration. I thought that was just how the Ultramatic was. But on the last two drives I made in the Clipper, the smoke suddenly stopped, and now the car feels completely different. Responsive right off the line, and right up to speed. I guess those stuck rings finally found their rightful homes.
