I have found several used low mileage (USDM) engines that are tested, documented, ready to drop in minus some externals (ac, alternator, ps pump, starter). At least this way I dont have to take parts in for machining (except for my flywheel, you can feel the groove in that poor thing). I'll post new photos assuming I get started some time this year

So what is the actual recommendation from those in the know, 40 weight? Synthetic or conventional?

Don't laugh, I know of a guy that years ago had a 70 Charger R/T. No money for oil, so he topped it off with Wesson cooking oil, against the advice of a buddy who told him he'd be better off running it low and babying it.
Guy topped it off and proceeded to paint the street for a couple hundred feet until #7 let go on him! |

HDD 5W-30, DEO 5W-40, AMO 10W-40, EFM 5W-40, Dominator 10W-30, or Z-Rod 10W-30 would all be better choices. Keep running your girly man Signature Series and you'll likely be in the same boat again. ;-) These cars need a robust additive package and an HTHS of 3.5 or higher. -Dennis Last edited by bluesubie; 02-12-2013 at 07:49 AM. |

Are you referring to Adams Metalizing? They might be good at machining stuff and well known for American v8's but my dad just had them do machining on his rebuild 2003 Wrx and it lasted 400 miles. Pops learned the hard way that subys are not like other engines. Much more sensitive to bearing clearances. He ended up buying a new 2005 Wrx crank and oversized crank brgs. It's working so far (1500 miles since rebuild #2 but he's still crossing fingers)
