few random questions on 318 build

Couple of things in your build i would reconsider. A 240 at .050 cam in a 318 will pull to 7000. That's pushing the limits of a hydraulic lifter. 7000 is also probably pushing the safe limits of those hyper pistons. That cam is also going to want a lot of gear. I would suggest a solid cam and forged pistons, or a smaller hyd cam. Spark plugs: anything but platinum. .035-.040 gap, indexing is a waste of time. About 20 initial,35 total. Oil? something with alot of zinc. I use Rotella , but its zinc content is not as high as it once was.
