Either MTL or straight 30 oil should work fine. Sounds like a hydraulics =
issue. First, check your oil level. If OK, if you can, take your car to =
the shop that rebuilt it; they should at least be willing to help you =
diagnose the problem. If not possible, you'll need to check pump =
pressure; you need a gauge and adapter to check it. If you don't have a =
shop--or a club or helpful Healey owner nearby--that can test it you can =
get a gauge: http://www.geocities.ws/jholekamp/
The pump shouldn't wear that fast; it's possible a piece of crud got =
under the pump check valve or something went wrong in the accumulator. =
Flushing your oil--check the screen under the big brass nut--might help, =
but it's not likely. Did the problem happen suddenly, or over =
time/miles?
