<VV> Old Oil

[tony..]

Just a quick comment:

Back when, I used Kendall GT1 oil (the green stuff) in the first '66 
Plymouth Satellite with a much modified bigblock engine (426 wedge). I 
ran that engine pretty hard sometimes, more than a few times the tach 
went past 7200 rpm. That's when the valves floated.  The engine took the 
abuse and never suffered any ill effects.

Brad Penn oil is the same formula as the old school Kendall GT1 (which 
is nothing like the Kendall modern GT1 oil which looks like average 
amber colored motor oil.

The Brad Penn "Pennsylvania Grade" oil is not from PA.  Most of their 
oil wells dried up many years ago, which is a shame since the PA crude 
was best for making lubricants and not motor fuels, helped out by the 
high paraffin content, I'm told.  Now the PA Grade oils are refined to 
the same content as the old school PA oils, and Brad Penn is one, along 
with the same content-formula as the original Kendall GT1 oil which was 
kinda trademarked by its green color.

Far as I know, the original "green oil" Kendall GT1 was the only oil 
specifically recommended by name in the instructions for breaking in a 
new Isky camshaft.  Brad Penn would be nice to use if there was an 
outlet within 100 miles of me...
