Cortina Almost Done

I'm almost there.Just tring to figure out which
oil to put in it.
This is a new (rebuilt) engine.I went over to
where I keep it & the TR6,& did a little more work
on it.
I don't want to do this again.

Re: Cortina Almost Done

Any progress is good, Doug. Any pictures of the work?
 
Re: Cortina Almost Done

I'll take some - is there still a
size limit on the Forum?

Re: Cortina Almost Done

Size limit (50k I think) only comes into play if you want the picture to automatically shop up in the post, instead of just as a link. There's probably an over all size limit to attachments as well, but I'm not sure.
 
Re: Cortina Almost Done

Doug, After reading everything I can find on the current oil issues, I have switched to Shell Rotella oil for cars with flat tappet cams.I am still researching synthetic diesel oil, but so far, the rotella looks safe.

It is just my 2 cents worth, but I have changed what I offer customers.

Doug;

Do not use any off the shelf *GAS* engine oil, they're
taking the ZDDP out of it, which is bad for us flat
tappet guys, use either Rotella, or Delo oils, and get
some of the GM break in additive...
