A Wall of Water!

Posted by Tom on Oct. 19, 1998 at 10:21:36

I recently had my '29 engine completley restored. After the tun in period (aprx. 1000 miles) I decided that it was time to put it to a mileage test. I struck out to I95 and drove round trip from Northern Balto County to Wilmington, Delaware. The following events occurred. I95 has hills and valleys not high and not low but grades. I found that after getting the car to about 48 miles perhour it felt like it was pushing a Wall of Water. I believe that the effect was from the hills though not sure. I let of the gas but slightly and the car smoothed out I allowed the car to take the road at its own pace. I used about 3/4 gallon of water and no oil on this trip. My question is: Are these normal experiences. Can you determine from this note if I need something else done (tune) Is this a normal occurrence with this motor without a Hi Compression Head?
