I ordered a grill badge, jacket patch and window transparencies from JCNA using the website's "JCNA Shoppe" and used Paypal for payment. My items arrived safe and sound 1 week later. Bravo to the webmaster, the JCNA treasurer and Dick Howe for great service!

I agree with Patrick. I made mine using my gasket cutter and a 1/4" thick piece of felt. The stop conceals it. Let us know if this helped and try to drive the car more often at least 20 miles at a time once a month.

Regarding a 1970 E-type OTS and an oil leak problem. This is a frame off restored car near 100 points.This problem has just surfaced in the past several months.

Problem: Oil leaking from the dip stick hole.

What I know for sure: The dipstick is the correct one.

The oil level is correct. Not overfilled.

The ventilation system is clean and clear including

screen and tubes.

No blue smoke, except a very small amount when first

started.

Compression check is as follows:

Cylinders #1 and #2 - 186 and 178 respectively.

Cylinders #3,4,5,6 - Average about 146.

Car is not driven as frequently as it should be.

About once every three months. Not started and run on

a routine basis.

Leak does not occur at idle. Only when driven or

revved to about 4000 rpm or above.

What I think is the problem: Stuck oil ring in #1 and #2 cylinder causing

blow by.

Question: Is there any way to "unstick" these rings? I really do not want to get into a $3,500 ring job.Understandably, do not want to do this to a cosmetically and otherwise, concourse level car. Any hints as to what I might do at this point to unstick these rings? I would truly appreciate any help or hints you can give me.
