Re: [Healeys] Oil again

[Tom Felts <tomfelts@windstream.net>]

Interesting----when I had mine rebuilt the shop wanted me to use Mobil 1.  I 
tried it.  Every time I started the engine I had to wait for a while for the 
engine to smooth out--like it was starving for oil.
Added Val 20/50 racing oil.  solved the problem.

AndyAbout 5 years ago we had a club member that had his engine rebuilt by a 
very reputable shop. Following the rebuilt the club member insisted that the 
shop put Molbil-1 in the engine. The result was another rebuild with in 3 
years. Don't know exactly what was the problem but the cam was damaged.Bob

Out of  interest, given all this oily discussion lately- has anyone actually 
worn out a reconditioned engine from normal road driving? I rather suspect you 
could put just about any modern oil in a Healey combined with a proper filter 
and it'd go for a whole lot more miles than an original one ever did on 
monograde.
