Have a new 302 crate engine and am looking recommendations from you lovely people re engine oil... I have read much about ZDDP content for older designed pushrod flat tappet engines and hope that I can draw on experience on the Forum.
Engine is in a CAV makes 375BHP @ 5800RPM...Bore size 4.000...Flat top pistons...Flat tappet hydraulic...
Appears having read some spec that the Valvoline Racing Oil 20w-50 still retains high zinc content than most but clearly thick as treacle which may not be the best for cold start use.
Anyhow welcome any thoughts from those using Valvoline or anyone else wanting to throw in their opinions...
Cheers Guys and Girls
