Re: And ode to oil

I had a '67 MGB once upon a time. The British were flat weird with design in those days. The clutch throwout bearing was two donut shaped metal pads meeting face to face. No lubrication other than that provided by the leaky engine main bearing. Your demonstration video illustrates the same principle.

Hey Zane,
Good GIF. I think it actually came from the Youtube below, which despite today being April Fools day, appears to be legit.

And since your post was so close to being a haiku anyway:

Thank you dear oil
You are so lubey and slick
Without you shit melts
