an article written by Smokey Unick


"The World's Greatest Mechanic," was his writing byline in (was it?) Mechanics Illustrated, which I had a subscription to in grade school. Then again, I also had subscriptions to Popular Mechanics and Popular Science, so maybe it was one of those. Yeah, go ahead and say it: "Nerd."

Smokey had a great article about making a vehicle engine last much longer than it usually does. That was the first time I'd ever heard of an engine pre-oiler and how it could be packaged, produced and used. Good stuff.
