I'm afraid that the only thing I can say about oil is don't put synthetic oil 
in a newly rebuilt engine. IT leaks all over  the place!

  Does anybody believe that the 412 ring and pinion transmission is better than 
the Freeway Flyer in the cooling areas? The Freeway flier is said to run too 
low in the RPMs to allow very good cooling at high speeds. I usually run at 
around 150 degrees at 65 MPH (I run a remote cooler) I also have been told that 
the viscosity of my 20-50 will not work well at lower temps. Also my lower 
profile tires cause my speedometer to read off by 1.25 more then after 1000 
miles how inaccurte is my mileage counter?
