good oil info in general,and bonus info for cams

[Ricko1966]

Interesting stuff here. Things like stating what maximum values are but not minimum values,why racing oils aren't good for street use,why the cams are going flat. A lot to wade through but good stuff.

Man, haven't been on that website in quite awhile.

It won't allow me to copy and paste, but the four rules on page 3 I think it was. Man everyone should read that. Basically that's the confirmation we all needed to see to know that basically any oil not GF-4 spec'd is ok for our engines at least in stock form. A good read I will finish the rest tomorrow.

Interesting, knew much of it except wasn't using enough EOS. When building a new engine, high quality roller lifters are the way to go. Lifters [both roller and flat tappet] have become the Achillies heel of many engines. The right oil can help reduce that area of failure.
