Re: [TR] How much oil pressure is too much?

[Ted Schumacher <tedtsimx@bright.net>]

A few years ago when the zinc issue was just starting to raise its ugly 
head, we spent a year looking at what oil to offer. Finally settled on 
Brad Penn.  Good product and they offer a break-in oil which was a real 
perk since we rebuild a lot of engines. We also (commercial message) 
sell it for $72/case. Ted
