Joe,
From my research anything under 1200 pm zinc is starting to get to the
marginal point.
I agree.
I think to make it easy on our cars, stick with any of the big brand oils
that have a Racing designation. They all seem to be very high, 1800 ppm
and up of zinc.
Basically, yes,
How does the musclecar-era SG spec stack up?
Approximately 0.150% (1500ppm) zinc and 0.140% (1400ppm) phosphorous for
1060-1980 engine oils. The racing oils use 1/3 more to promote better ring
seal to the cylinder walls for high RPM power production.

I thought the 1.8s was better?
I wouldn't. Stay with the 1.8. There are other issues when the rocker ratio
is changed, like repositioning of pushrod angle and
Randy Willis,
Randy:
What rocker arms do you plan to use with the solid lifter cam? The stock
ratio was 1.8:1. Isky sold a lot of 1.5:1 and compensated for the lack of
lift by changing the acceleration rate of the ramp. Olds W1 rockers were
1.8:1. I don't know about Gotha or Thomas or
I just sent this message to the seller:
-it was ordered with the larger 425 cu. in. high compression motor- is
completely incorrect. GM had a total ban on any engine larger than 400 CID
in any A-body from 1964 to 1969. A factory installed 425 in your vehicle is
totally impossible. It did not
The use of the Aurora engine in F1 and IRL is interesting, but I would
believe most members of our Olds List would be more interested in our big
block 425s and 455s in F1 racing in the late '60s and early '70s.
In 1968, Bob McKee of Palatine, IL, built a wedge shaped Lotus styled F1
racer
Tom.
The McKee Lotus style wedge car and the monocoque had Olds engines and with
the TH400 in the monocoque were in F1.
The CRO-SAL team's 3 cars were in CAN-AM Group 7, SCCA/CASC. In reviewing my
post, I made a bad. In the 3rd paragraph, I inserted F1, for some strange
reason. My very bad.
Tom,
H. Then maybe my source for the McKee Olds powered Lotus wedge and the
later monocoque is incorrect. Their engine sizes would not allow them in F1.
So those vehicles must also be CAN-AM. Only the Olds 215 aluminum V8 could
get into F1. CAN-AM was the showcase for our second generation
Willis,
Very interesting information Milt. An aluminum engine that appeared to be
a
big block, used to sit in the display window on the 2nd floor of the
Olds
engineering building #66. it appeared to have twin turbos and injector
stacks.
I have pictures of those engines, along with
Randy,
I'm confused. You're going to use a solid lifter cam in your 371. Doesn't
the mfg. of your new cam have the .921 lifters for it? if they make the cam
for your engine, they must have the lifters. Otherwise, call up Crower. I'll
bet they can get .921 solid lifters for an Olds.
