If it's not an OHV engine, yes. Even moreso than you may realize. Non-OHV small engines are a low-compression flathead with oil-slinger lubrication and magneto-driven ignition. Short of main bearing/bushing inserts rather than babbitt, they're operationally identical to a Model T engine (albeit minus 3 cylinders).Brad
My 27' sailboat has a 4 cylinder flathead. It's probably closer to a mid '50s tractor engine than a Model-T. I run ethanol free gas and add Marine Sta-bil, seafoam and Marvel Mystery Oil. As far as I know it.is the original, unmolested equipment.

Moyer Marine has sort of put them back in production, like I said above, you can buy a sort of brand new Atomic-4 today. All new castings, all new block, head and manifolds.
