  I did not have a chance to get up in my attic yesterday to see. I have 4 T&L OS .35s but don't remember if they have any paper work.  I have plans for the morning and as soon as I get home I'll have a climb up there and check.

  Sorry to report "NO JOY!" on any handwritten notes by Tom on the OS .35S engines. I'm thinking this was well before any ABC stuff was available, so typical recommendations for fuel would be the top thing on the list I would imagine. I am not sure what operations he may have performed on these other than addressing the suspect rod issues, and making sure the cylinder was round, and fitting and heat treating the piston for best compression and longer life.
  I am sure Tom's instructions for the ST.60 and ST.46 have been posted in the engine section before. If anyone has the OS .35s information along with any other T&L tidbits, those would be great to pin at the top of the engine section, along with any other "engine guy" instructions and hints to preserve them for future use.
