Well with the Crate done except for the engine Im tearing into the 2056
again, I need to put the windage tray back in and check out 
A possible bearing issue.  Ive started to catch up over at aircooled
Technology and as soon as I can find out a way to log in (there's only a
place to register, not log in) Im going to as them some questions about
their new Oil.

Turns out they stopped using the Brad Penn shortly after I pulled the 2056
out of the Squareback so I could drive to the invasion in 2010.  Guess what?
They found an oil that runs MUCH cooler than the Penn!  I needed 20 degrees
and they claim that the Joe Gibb DT50 runs 20 degree's cooler.  That's the
story of my life.  whatever I die from will be cured the day of my funeral!

I gotta see if jake still reccomends an extra oil cooler, maybe for that
warm and fuzzy but its quite refreshing seeing someone in the industry
finally come right out and say that the semi-synthetics run hotter than the
dino oils  ( of course Fye already did right here) I just want my engines
running cooler than he does.  Now to get the BP out of the Notchback and
some DT 50 in there.  Its nice to see another choice out there, even if its
$$ per quart
