synthetic oil comparison

[Motion Camaro]

<font color="blue">I have always used Kendall 40 wt. Race oil in my engines, never had any oiling problems, but since Kendall sold out &amp; changed their product, I don't know what I will use anymore ...

Here's an oil story for you:

I just sold a customer rebuild parts for a Ford 302 he put in a '63 Comet.
I gave him a Comp. Cams Hyd. Cam &amp; lifter kit with an MSD distributor.
The break in seamed to go well until about 5 hours later.
The engine stoped running ... ... checked fuel, O.K., checked spark, N/G. Pulled the cap off &amp; the rotor was not spinning. Pulled the dist. out &amp; the gear was worn like it had 150,000 miles on it. The cam had 5 worn lobes &amp; 2 lifters were almost worn through!
I called Comp. Cams &amp; went over everything, they sent me a new cam &amp; lifter kit &amp; told me to use the new Poly Gear.
(side note: the original stuff that came out of the engine with 65,000 miles on it looked fine.)
The custome said he had 60lbs of oil pressure during break-in &amp; about 15lbs at idle, seems typical Ford to me.
Put in all the new parts, rechecked everything ... 8 hours later, a valve tap ... ... Cam &amp; lifters worn out, one good note, that poly dist. gear still looked new.
Engine is out &amp; back apart now.

looking on the Comp. Cams website one night trying to see if there is a situation with their product I came across a bulletin about breaking in your new engine with ... ROTELLA ... hmm, no one mentioned this to me on the phone, well we will search for another problem first &amp; then try this oil. </font>
