No - he was too big. Redfish it is said (by someone much less PC than me) are like women. They are best at 17, but not legal till 21 and by 30, they are not good anymore.

We did eat these:

"It slows the leaks and quites the shifts in that POS airhead transmission. The Japs would not build a bike with a 70K bomb in it. The only downside seems to be on sub 40 degree days, which don't happen often here. When it does, I have to drive a block in first gear before it will shift well. After that, it does everything better.[/quote]"


I only asked because some think that using 140 in rear drives (oilheads, anyway) is linked to rear drive failure. When buying BMW brand synthetic gear oil, the dealer would automatically try to sell me 75W-140. The parts guy didn't even know that BMW markets 75W-90 syn or that he actually had it in stock.
