Hi, not doubt the other oils are very good, but if I am to do oil changes every 3000 miles, and then spend $8 per quart for 8 quarts. I will get lazy and strech the intervals.

I have my cam hardend to 61 rockwell, I bought a set of type one lifters that are supposed to be tool steel, how do I have them checked out?

I plan to have the lifters laser drilled adding a oil hole down the center. I also plan to have brothers mechine shop mod my case from 356 bonze bushing to accept the type one lifters. They said that they can groove the bushing for better oiling of the lifter to bushing contact.

There is no such thing as over doing it, just playing it safe.
