Mike,
I'm not telling you anything, my friend. I'm just passing along what Isky
says on the subject ;) Do with it what you wish.

Oh, now you are telling me VR-1 is not good enough? Where the Hell do you
get Valvoline Racing Oil? It says right on the bottle that VR-1 is for our
type of engine. What's up with that?
Mike MacLean
60 Sprite with VR-1 oil in it.
56 BN2 with no oil in it because it has not been run yet.

So when is somebody going to make retrofit roller lifters for the a-series

"Please note, Isky does not recommend the use of synthetic oils with any
flat
tappet camshaft - especially during break-in. If you must use synthetic
oil
after break-in, there are only two brands we are comfortable
recommending.
They are Amsoil (Red) Racing Oil and Joe Gibbs Performance Racing Oil.
Both
contain zinc and phosphorous and will fare well AFTER break-in has been
successfully completed. Other synthetics, especially those with very
low
viscosity index numbers (i.e. 0w-15, 5w-20 etc.) have very low film
strength
and are not designed for, nor should they be employed in any flat-tappet
cam
installation."
