Seriously, I just purchased Castrol GTX High Mileage SAE 20W50 motor oil for the assembly process and I'll use the same in the engine as per Greg's input. I am also changing over to the newer style cam carriers, thanks to Garry Kemp who supplied mine and Joe Huffaker's. I finished the auxiliary housing rebuild and set it aside and today I have been working on the head. Just finished changing all the old valve springs to the DMS competition springs and I'm getting ready to move my 104 cams over to the new cam carriers. Next will be to set all the valves. I have some shims but I don't know whether they are the correct sizes for the new cams. I'll install the cams, then dry assemble the head and cam carriers so I can check clearances, then I should have a good idea as to what size shims I will need for each valve. I'll check back in a little while to see if anyone has any input.
