    motor oil artical in Hot Rod mag
    « on: January 07, 2007 - 09:46:45 AM »
    in the latest Hot Rod mag, the one that has "engines" on the cover, there is an artical called "when good cams go bad", They give shell rotella  a big thumbs up for flat tappet cams. Also the quacker state got a good review.

    Amsoil, Shell Rotella... Anything with the CI-4 rating on it.  :thumbsup: The BIG question is, how long before they change it?  :dunno:

    Hughes Engines has a great article on cams, oils and additives.  They ship this bulletin with their cams.  Check their website.
