Quote: OK so what oil should a roller motor,street/track car use /?????????
My first couple of questions to the OP would be.. is this a street engine, next would be.. what rpm do you idle at and third would would be.. are you running the edm hole in the bottom of the lifter to feed the roller
- Street driven, mostly to & from the tracks - 1200 rpm idle, but I don't let it sit there for extended periods of time just waiting for the traffic light to turn green - rollers have pressure-fed bearing feature
Oils worth considering IMO (but don't blame me if you don't like the price) are JGR "Hot Rod", Amsoil Z-Rod, Brad Penn's "racing" oil, and I'm sure there are others that are capable.
When I first started running my W-9 engine I was running synthetic race oil with added zinc but when I changed to E-85 I switched to dyno do-do mainly due to I didnt know how much moisture would end up in the oil... since then I never switched back without any issues... my previous roller engines always used dyno do-do and again.. never a failure.. thats 19 years with rollers
