I am looking at a 1973 boat with a 302ci ford/merc i/o. Of course oils of the 70's produced soem nasty sludge and varnish inside many engines. Is this going to be a problem today with this boat from all the years of that [censored]? I would be using SAE 30 or 40 pennzoil in it.
Reason I mention this is many older 70's ford inline six engines and v8's that either I or friends have owned all have main bearing rattle and low oil psi. I wonder if this will be the case with the boat.
