Post by: RMS Boxer Service on July 06, 2009, 14:14:04 pm I have used Brad Penn SAE30 oil for breaking in the last two engines I've have done. No flat cams 8)
I got the oil from LN Engineering, Super service !!! But I have heard from other "big guys" in the VW racing world saying that Brad Penn oil is the worst oil ever :-\ Now I am confused..... I will order more Brad Penn SAE30 oil soon because the cam did'nt go flat even that one of the last engines I made was equipped with pretty strong valve springs(only outer springs was mounted when breaking in the engine). Brad Penn oil is cheap in USA, but shipping to Europe is expensive :'( because it's considerd as dangerous goods. /R |
