Recalling a post...

Sometime ago, possibly several months, someone mentioned an oil additive for break in that I believe they said was a GM product. It seems to me thay were saying it was good to use in the old flatheads after a rebuild. I am just finishing up Continental 4 Cyl. flathead for a Lincoln welder and it occurred to me thatit is in many ways similar to the old Ford flatheads. If anyone remembers or knows what this product is, please post it. Thanks.

Later...

The GM Breakin oil is no longer produced.
Valvoline makes one, also a new Roush/Valvoline oil,
and there is a product called ZDDP Plus that is made for older engines that might be able to be used for breakin.
