<VV> Oil changes again (no Corvair)

[James Davis]

I want to watch someone pull a wasp major (4360) through prior to 
starting.  You have to pull the bottom plugs (three bottom cylinders and 
four rows then use the starter). You gota love the C-119C, B-50, C-124, 
C-97, B-36.  That is when a cross country trip of 3,000 miles took a week.
