We have just put new PC's in my 2.0 and I have been using valvoline VR1 but a guy told me yesterday that when they run in rally car engines they use a thicker oil. Does that ring any bells with you guys?
I know Penn or my VR1 is ok normally but is it better to run new pots in with heavier oil for a while? |

What's the difference between " break in " vs regular?

QUOTE(396 @ Jun 9 2013, 02:41 PM)  What's the difference between " break in " vs regular? Less detergents and additives. It seems backwards, but it keeps things from being too slippery. You need those parts to bed in and develop tighter clearances from the get-go, or they never will. |
