Are you using 20W50? That seems to be what everybody
recommends for LBCs. Thinner oil will run lower pressure.
Does anybody have a correlation between viscosity and
pressure? Would a thinner oil actually have a larger
volume flow? 

The manual for my new american iron actually warns 
specifically against 20W50. Why would 20W50 be so
bad for a GM quad four engine?

Just thought I'd keep the oil thread going.
