Roadkill put SAE60+LUCAS in a 1946 Jeep engine

Around the 30:40 mark
They rebuilt the engine and reused the old main bearings.
That must be just a bit thick when cold!
Then at around the 34 minute mark they start it in freezing temperatures...

So, what's the issue? The clearances are big enough to allow it. The starter was not even really struggling

60 is not that thick. The Lucas is a bit thicker at freezing

Yeah 60wt PLUS Lucas? California boys for sure...at least they had some hats.

Reminds me of two Florida guys I saw once....in shorts, freezing half to death while cleaning the frost off their open Jeep's windshield - with their driver's license.

0W20 won't protect that engine?

David Freiburger wears flip flops no matter the weather, the only time i recall him wearing shoes or boots is when they went to Alaska.

Those guys know more about cars than 95% of this board.

That whole episode reminds me so much of wrenching on antique boats.
