Default Re: Basic advice

Tillys are notorious for warping. Replace it with a Zenith. Overheating is caused by bad radiators and rusty clogged water jackets in the engine, at least. There are myriad other things that can cause it: bad timing; brakes misadjusted; rings too tight: bearings too tight; incorrect use of the spark lever; bad head gasket; cracked block and/or head; malfunctioning water pump; or, if you have one, a stuck thermostat.

The oil leak is most likely a bad rear main, but could be a clogged filler pipe or return pipe on the rear main.

Probably some other stuff I haven't experienced yet!

Good luck!
