[Shop-talk] engine rebuild

[Chad on LEG]

Check out Shell Rotella T, they reduced the amount
of ZDDP but is said to provide the necessary level
of protection. I'll be breaking in a new cam is the 
next few weeks so I hope so! (was and I think still 
is recomended by Comp Cams) One last thing, I've 
been using Red Line assembly lube, can't harm but, 
I feel, it can help.
