oil recommendation for y-block
I was wondering what oil I should use in a 292 Y-block. I thought Rotella was the suggested oil on a previous post but I may be wrong.

If your engine still has the stock unhardened valve seats,the idea is to use an oil with as high a level of ZDDP,which has been decreasing, to lubricate the valves. Google it, you'll get no end of articles.
If you have hardened valve seats,just use a good quality oil. |
Thanks. I'll try that.

The high ZDDP will lubricate the cam and lifters, benefiting that area. Really don't think oil should be in the area of the valve seats. I am running Brad Penn.

Joe Gibbs racing oil. It is expensive but so are engine rebuilds. Amazon . com
About 10 bucks a quart. |
