When I do a rebuild on mine(solid roller) I fire it
up and set the timing and idle then go to the track
and BEAT on it for the weekend then change the oil...
I dont know if you will need that heavy of weight oil
but check your pressure when its up to temp to see
what you have and if YOUR happy with it... I dont
like mine under 20psi after a full pass and I adjust
the weight of oil to it
