low volume oil pump - Page 2

.0021" for the rods, .0025" for the mains. I never run more than that. Being an SS engine, why large journals?

It will be fine, but I wouldn't be running 15w40.

So, what would you run in this application?

It would be fine with 10W30 and a standard oil pump. I probably would not put Royal Purple 0W10 oil in it.

I like the Valvoline 10-30 synthetic racing oil for regular use

I run their non-synthetic race 10W30 in "bracket mode." The black bottle that says. "Not legal for street use!"
