Paul,
I am using Brad Penn 30W break in oil for my engine break in + 1 bottle of STP
4cyl treatment.
On engine startup op is about 65PSI @ 1K rpm.
Once the engine warms up to to the middle the op is 70 @ idle and about 75 PSI
at 2000RPM and above.
Once the break in is finished I will be changing to Brad Penn 20w50 racing
oil.
Brad Penn oils have extra zinc and are made for flat tappet engines.
Bob
