[Spridgets] oil for spridgets

[Larry Daniels]

I recently bought an AL V-8.  It came out of an MGB and had less than 500 
miles on it.  The mutt crashed it that fast.  I looked at the cam and two of 
the lobes were wiped.  One of the lifters looked like a bad case of acne. 
Less than 500 miles.  I don't know what he used for oil, but there sure as 
hell seemed to be a problem there.

It's your motor, do whatever you think is right.  Even expensive oil is 
cheap.

The ZDDP thing is for real, but it's a slow engine killer. It cuts your
engine life by maybe half.  It's also an important factor if you have a
gearbox that takes motor oil. Gears really need an extreme pressure
lubricant.
