Thank you. I regret selling it. The guy who bought it won’t sell it back.

Bottom line on the power subject is yes. If you are going high performance too much power is almost enough.
Diesel oil is what you put in the fuel tank. HDEO is the oil you put in the crankcase. I used Chevron DELO 15W-40 [ 20W50 gave a bit more moil pressure though] in my last 7,500 engine in my last boat engine it worked and at tear down all looked good. The valve train always looked bad no matter what oil was used , consider the valve train to be disposable.. The zinc additive isn't needed.
There is an answer for that as well on the other side of the bike. +200. The final weight on this bike was 954 pounds ready to ride. .84 HP per pound.
man that intake was polished up!
stoudt engine....621hp.......roller cam?
what Oil was-is being run in that?
I cant imagine that kinda power on a motorcycle. outrageous!!!!
Yes, roller cam. That one had a very light Winberg crank. Because this was all aluminum I ran our 5w40. If it were steel I would have run 5w30.
It was quick
It was quick
interesting on alum-vs steel.
growth of alum affecting tolerences in bearings?
i have a 1998 corvette i just picked up on the cheap. such a nice car... that LS alum engine..makes me wonder about the tolerences -clearances...
its a well known reliable engine...im sure ill be inside of it in time, but i just cruise it. i put 5w30 syn in it....its pretty quiet.
your alum cheby....thats old school...my engine builder likes th older cheby's....he doesnt like the skirt---he like to run kick out pans oil control and all that....

I agree with you. If you look at my sprint car engine in the other thread you will see quite a different strategy in the pan. In the motorcycle there is not a case where windage will come into play. At high rpm’s in that application it requires a lot of focus because you are in triple digit speed on 2 wheels.
Yes David already recommended that, but thanks! It does look like a nice oil
If you are looking for something off the shelf, just run Mobil 1 FS 0W40.
David
Did you look at Schaeffer’s? Not off the shelf but neither is that motor.
With your bearing clearances I would stick with Mobil 1 15w-50. For over 20+ years I’ve used it in many classic Fords and Shelby’s I’ve owned, as well as the ones I’ve serviced professionally. Including several original Cobras.
If you still feel the need to experiment, then try Mobil 1 0w-40 European formula, or the M-1 5w-40. Have used them both in classics with no downsides.

I run 50 in my boat, I wouldnt run it in a street car.
