What have you done today with your Austin Seven
I echo what Ivor has said about running in. I put 500 miles on the rebuilt engine on the RP before I tackled the Camino, which was a 2000 mile round trip. I had fresh oil in after 150 miles, then again at 300, and again before setting off. I changed it again in the hotel car park in Santiago and again when I got home. During the run I was cruising at 45-50mph, but just letting the car find its sweet spot without pushing it hard, particularly when climbing.The car is now running really well with virtually no oil consumption, so take your time, keep the oil clean and you'll reap the benefits later. A magnetised sump plug is a good idea.
