Correct! :-) Just so long as he doesn't put petrol (gasoline ;-)) through 
it,as there is a slight chance of blowing the sump off it when he tries to 
start it,as happened to a customers car when he failed to associate the 
dramatic decrease in economy with a _rising_ oil level.The mechanical fuel 
pump diaphragm was perforated,and leaking fuel into the sump.A backfire blew 
the sump of _all_ its bolts,blew the rocker boxes up like balloons,and 
pushed nearly every external oil seal out of their bores.Gave him a bit of a 
fright,apparently,too !
