The Jackass that posted a while ago
Ya know, I was just reading about the synthetic oil, and then you thoughts on the cam-I actually installed the CraneGM cam-I went back and forth and the machine shop and my mechanic convinced me to go with the crane Cam/valve train(just check my invoice)
Anyhow, would love to hear more thoughts on the synthetic option-have never used it ever and have owned more cars than my wife wishes to admit

No synthetic in the older motors. The oil does seem to find a little more leaks because of the non-machined surfaces. JMO Rotella-T, Brad Penn Valvoline and that Chevron version is very good oil with still some Zinc added. The oil thing has been gone back and forth forever. The main thing I can see is just make sure you have oil in your motor. That is probably the most important step!
