----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I picked up my motor at Oley and plan to start it soon. There was some discussion about what oil to use. Someone said they had heard that Rotella has reduced the zinc content in their oil. What are other people using and has anyone heard anything about the Rotella Thanks My KJ Cannonball test engine ran about 8000 miles testing new parts including 4000 miles running the Cannonball in the KJ ridden by Mike Fockler. The engine was built by Mark Hill. The first 3000 plus miles were put on by me with Shell Rotella in Florida. Mike used a semi synthetic, Belray 20W50 for the Cannonball. Mark and I took the engine apart after about 8000 miles. The engine was perfect inside and will be put back together with the piston rings, valve guides and gaskets being the only parts being replaced. The clutch provided by Mark showed no wear and and never slipped. Byrne
