[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16950095, member: 70025"] Thank you very much railroad! Very cool feedback. After I had the heads rebuilt I changed the oil with Pennzoil 10W-30 conventional and used an FL-1A Motorcraft filter. I realized I needed to change the valve seats due to the car running on leaded fuel back in the day. So, I was wondering if I needed to do anything else. I have been doing research on this car and watching YouTube videos of guys resurrecting older cars. I normally watch Vice Grip Garage (VGG) and another channel called Dylan McCool. They both mention running the Shell Rotella. VGG always says Shell Rotella has all the vitamins and minerals the engine needs as he's pouring it in. I discovered he meant the Zinc content. Since I had already changed the oil I found a product called Rev X Zinc ZDDP. So, I added it to my engine oil. Product says it treats up to 6 quarts and is rated at 3200 PPM. On my next oil change I will switch to the Shell Rotella. Rev X Zinc ZDDP (Zinc Additive) [ATTACH type="full" alt="Zinc 01.JPG"]1807327[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Zinc 02.JPG"]1807328[/ATTACH] Thank you very much for the heads up! I always say I do not know everything and assistance and suggestions from folks like you are a tremendous help. Much appreciated!!! [/QUOTE]
