Re: Engine oil...... an interesting story

Was this an old small block or an LS based engine?

My '71's original 350 had been maintained like that by the original owner, he only used Quaker State and always changed every 3000 miles. There wasn't one speck of sludge inside the engine when I tore it down, which was at 110K. But a lead footed teenager (me) managed to sink the valve seats and stretch the old timing chain, bearing wise it was pretty decent and you could barely see the copper in the bearings.

Just curious though.
