There have been some concerns posted latey about using todays oil in our old
Roadsters AFTER they have been broken in. The concern was they were missing
the correct kind of additive package to provide proper wear care for our cars,
and that you needed to get a specific oil additive. I asked my engine guru
who is careful about debunking these kind of things. His response:
"Bullshit. This was started by a Nascar team (Joe Gibbs) who had a cam go
flat and decided it was the oil. What it probably was was excessive spring
pressure. None of my customers, nor anyone else in the industry have reported
any problems related to excessive wear due to todays oil. I think it is
marketing BS to sell a product."
I continue to run Mobile 1 without concern.

Subject: [Roadsters] Break-in oil & assembly

There's been some threads on the assembly and break-in of "new" engines. I
noticed an ad from Comp Cams in the latest issue of Chevy High Performance
for a new break-in oil (*http://tinyurl.com/ygtkpxl*) they're now selling.
Looks like a great product to me.
They also offers assembly lube and spray. Knowing Comp's reputation this
stuff is worth using, IMHO.
