Ah yes, timing chain... I have been using FL-400S. One of the OCIs I used a PL20195, and it didn't make a difference. Yes, I do get into revs on occasion, but not regularly and never before it warms up. I had thought about the high revs early on while the aluminum numbers were higher thinking...

JTK, are you by chance JMoe on MTF? If you are, thanks! The thread "Z Force hydro oil change" and other discussions about your 44 fab have been a big help! I couldn't agree more about the ZT2800. I was initially very concerned about durability after I saw that oil, but I'm impressed. Actually...
