<VV> Oil poured down the rockers

[Geoffrey A Johnson]

I did this in a fit of randomness with our 66 Corsa when I first got it. 
Was cleaning out the rockers and poured some oil in.   As long as you 
don't mind wiping oil  creep off the paint every few months it is not bad!
Makes the whole car look like the bottom of an engine.
