Hey oil gurus
I bought an old 81 Square body truck
Been working to restore it, fired it up the other day, it sounds decent, but i hear a bit of a tick even after i reset the valve lash
It had been sitting a while and the previous owner had a massive leak on the passenger side valve cover, and I'm guessing he was just refilling it
I live in central Texas (Austin) so normally it's relatively hot, just looking for a good recommendation for a higher mileage older motor
I had been thinking to run some conventional Rotella or T6 in 5w40 and see if the engine noise goes away
Any input is appreciated
Thanks!
