  4. And here is a sample of some of the shiny bits getting installed with it. I also cleaned and re-wrapped the entire wire harness in the engine bay and then replaced almost all of the fasteners with stainless (and Never-Seez)

  5. Thanks. It's the detergents that would be the issue, I suppose. Sludge. Browsing through all of the various oil container labels, and ad copy, and internet information, it's surprising that none of the companies can paint a clear picture of what someone with an old, pre-catalytic converter car can use to keep their old car engine in safe condition. Seems like there's an opportunity here. Not to mention all of the old cars with catalytic converters, What are they supposed to do? Valvoline seems to get closest with their VR-1 but even they can't simply address the basics of everyday use. Still called a racing oil, with just an insinuation that it's appropriate for daily usage. Pennzoil doesn't even have a link to their racing oil on the Pennzoil web site. http://www.valvoline.com/pdf/vr1_racing.pdf Somebody needs to just produce an "old car oil" and supply information about how they address the cam wear issue. With zero hype. That would be awesome.

  6. If you find you still want/need a Haynes manual in addition to the FSM downloads, I have an extra one that you're welcome to. And speaking of welcome, welcome to the club! I don't post a ton, but I've had a thousand questions answered before I even had to ask just by reading the collected knowledge on this site.

  7. That is cool! They got it right, down to the rust. Are you still snowed in? Cabin fever? Am I gonna have to take out a communication facility in Atlanta? Is Nortel still in business?

  8. My L28 race engine might not see the abuse of stop and go traffic, but it does see 24+ hours straight of race track conditions. It makes power to 7000 RPM and is only shut down to refill the gas tank every 2 hours. I run a Web Racing cam and I only run Valvoline VR-1. The cam looks great after thousands of race miles. I have torn apart many, many L series engines and quite a few of them have had cam wear even though the rest of the engine looked great. I can't say if my race engine's cam would wear without the added zinc, but why chance it?
