[T3] Oil - the proof is in the pudding

[Keith Park]

That's pretty yongue.  Those early motors didn't produce much HP so they
could be run hard and still hold up pretty well, at least in temperate
climates.  The cam doesn't really care how hard you drive it, but does like
good clean oil.

The ONE thing that didn't get ruined in my Amzoil motor was the cam, that
cam is now in my 71 and has about 150Kmi on it, its worn, but still OK,
probably be in better shape if I had run the right oils in the 2005-2008
area before I knew better.
