Re: Got the motor turning
Rotella has suffecient zink in it. It is technically "diesel oil" and not subject to the same epa regulations as oil for gas engines. Dello is also good.
They're both reasonably cheap. Lucas, shaffer's, and Joe Gibbs all make break in oil with high zink levels, but it's all fairly pricey. I run Rotella in my old trucks, and all my motorcycles. -Russ |

Re: Got the motor turning
I would get a can of that STP oil treatment or something like that and pour it literally all over the cam and lifters. That might help when she fires up. It will be fine. I had an old 250 6cyl in a 70 that I dragged out of the bush. It was seized. I poured coke in the cylinders and the next day I had it running. It smoked really bad but after it warmed up the rings started sealing again and it was good. I used that engine for a year and a half while I built another one for my truck.
