[Healeys] zddp followup

[healeybn4 at aol.com]

I highly recommend VR1 20-50 racing oil.? Last year I finished a 5 year restoration of a 100 with a Denis Welch engine rebuilt in the UK.? The car was run in with about 300 miles before importation to the states.? I changed the oil to Castrol GTX 20-50 before Conclave last year.? The engine developed a modest oil leak from the rear main seal with the Castrol.? After several recommendations I changed to the Valvoline and it diminshed the oil leak and improved oil pressure by 3 to 5 pounds.? I have converted to VR1 on each on my English cars.

Cheers,? Pete Sturtevant
