It is sold as a 'reducer' not thinner. Most is available in different mixes with Toulene to tailor to seasonal temperature drying times...
All Mutts, -0, A1, A2 will roll just like an original VW bug. The A2 is least likely to, but I have looked down on a hard leftt turn in an A2, and saw light under under the rear tire.

I stand corrected, one of the prototypes I saw was the Chrysler, not a GM try at it.
The Teledyne was the other one I saw in person.
It's been a while...
Retrofitted the original 6-cyl Deutz air-cooled Diesel, like I saw at YPG back in '82?

The Sprag unit runs free if everything is turning the SAME speed. They lock if the rears slip...
Too bad you're way East in MO.
I have a 5-ton tractor, Mack END673 engine (the best, BTW). It's a project rig, and needs to be put together.
