Re: Engine oil...... an interesting story
I tore down a 307 that was in a '71 K/20 mountain farm truck with 120,000 miles. It required no machining to overhaul, no cyl ridge, still had cross hatching, journals all mic'd to spec, round, and smooth as a baby's butt. That was a 2bbl, so less wash down than an old QuadraJet. The timing chain had jumped the crappy worn fiber gears and bent the push rods and a valve or two (while my boss was driving it...probably getting into it hard). So, I did a top-end, which they say is pissing into the wind on a small block with those miles, so I overhauled it. I put an RV cam in, hi-performance heads, and hopped it up a bit. Ran great for many more years
