The solution it seems is to use either diesel engine oil or high mileage oil sold for worn engines. These two oils seem to have retained some of the old formulation and include a higher zinc content and other elements that will soften some of the pounding.

Phil Waterman has some very interesting articles on the subject.

Hi Bob

I'll try and collect up the articles and post them week. When I do I'll post the links here.

Also got some information on temperature readings in various CMP components after hammering the truck around up hill and down and on the interstate. Which I will post.

Cheers Phil
