<p>we didn't rebuild the engine! <br>

<p>After my post yesterday, it got me wondering...so I contacted him
about the car. His daughter has been driving it to/from college
these days...getting 30mpg on the highway</p>
<p>now has around 130K miles on it and running fine! He said (she
said) it started fine all winter long for her without single
issue.</p>
<p>(not sure what college she's at..didn't think to ask)</p>

<p>A bunch of years ago I restored an LBC for a
guy...original owner from the early 70's, wanted to
rebuild the car as a retirement gift to himself and his
wife...apparent very fond memories.</p>
<p>Long story short.... 110K+ miles on the odo.... when I
pulled the oil cap for a first look, the valves, rockers,
pedestals, all were different colors...looked nearly new!
The engine had never been touched, let alone that the car
had sat for the last 15 years outdoors in the weather.?
First tests, the engine still had great and even
compression.? He'd been running Mobil 1 since the very
first oil change in 1971.?? It made a believer out of me.
I've been running Mobil 1 20-50 in all my LBC's ever
since... perhaps 110K+ miles cumulative now, without
single issue.</p>
<p>Plus...you can buy 4 (5?) quart big jugs at Walmart for
well under $30</p>

advise using VR-1 Racing oil in our LBC's. While it does
have some zinc, it's designed for racing engines that
are torn down on a regular basis. My oil of choice is
Penn Grade (used to be Brad Penn) 20W50 partially
synthetic. You can get it from Amazon or TRF for around
$8 per quart. Sure it's more expensive, but still a lot
cheaper than a spun bearing or flattened cam!</div>
