What's your rod bearing clearance? With that clearance you can run a 30 grade oil. Maybe a 20 but you do have all the leaks around the lifters and rockers so probably a 30.
rods aren't in yet. not sure if he is doing that today or not. he is 67 with a bad back so I'm not sure what he feels up to. I'd like to be doing all this under his direction but he asked to put at least the crank in while I'm working this weekend. I'll post the rod clearances when i find out or Monday when i out them in
