In my street motors I run Valvoline VR1 20W-50. That includes my Healey as =
well as my other flat tappet cam motors. In my race motors I run Redline 4=
0W racing oil that is 100% synthetic for those that are not familiar with R=
edline.
In one post on this list someone said that ZDDP in the oil was only needed =
during engine break-in.....WRONG! Any engine with a flat tappet cam needs=
lots of ZDDP.

What are your thoughts on using 5W-50? What weight oil do you recommend?
