Good Golly, how did we ever manage during the dark ages - 1960 to 197x without 4 balls?
Racing oil of choice, during the Dark Ages, was DA Speed Sport. Ran this for years without problems, in a late model modified Ford with a 427 cross bolt main. Never had an oil related failure. [censored], we did not know what the "all important base stock" was. Did it keep the engine together for the season? That was our standard
Balls? that is what the driver had, not the oil.
How much down in power would the old engine be, if the new engines used the same technology parts as were available in the above era? Parts evolve to give more power, oil evolves to give better lubrication. How much is enough, especially on racing engines?
Yes, I am an old [censored], but probably done more racing miles than most, on this forum.
K-Y jelly is pretty slick stuff. Anyone using it in an engine?
