I did some endurance runs with those guys. They had a great ability to get people to help them out. The guy on the ground in the picture is Tim Knapp, the Mayor of Wilsonville (near Portland), reaching in to make an adjustment. Let's see you get YOUR mayor to do that.

People of the era of our vintage cars were creative! Good to see that creativity of thinking carrying over! People used what they had!

That's the way to do it! Gotta give those guys credit...sure ain't sceared!

I would be scared running a rod with lead babbitt, adhesion to the tinning issues, and a circle groove that is made for oil pressure only.
