Yup. 20w50 unless you're where it freezes on a regular basis. 5w30 is waaaaaayyyy too thin. The Cap'n

Also, I learned that the trip point is lower for the aftermarket VDO dual-pole oil pressure sender. Like 8 psi v. 5 psi for the stock one.

"I" would run a straight weight oil. Also I would consider a heavy duty spring on the oil pressure relief valve....

I believe it's set up for D-Jet FI; tho from what I understand D-Jet can easily be converted to L-Jet if needed. But now that my other motor is rebuilt I don't have much use for it, so I'd probably send it to you for a good price. I should warn you, however, that it's not very pretty (previous owner had let it sit around for some years)... let me know if you're interested and I'll get you some pics. |
