Apologies for bringing up a subject that has been hammered into the ground quite well. But, bear with me..

Getting my old engine rebuilt. Not a full rebuild, but one that's based on internal inspection that indicates replacing certain parts. This is not a post to determine engine rebuild methods, right or wrong, but one of trying a rather new engine lubrication approach. At least to me.

I also realize at this point that I will probably get many opinions about the engine work, but let's just talk, (again..) about engine oil. Please..

Here's what I'm going to do. (Gulp!)

After the engine install, that we talked about before, I'm going to fill the engine with 4.5 quarts of Mobil 1 10W-30 Extended Performance 100% synthetic oil.

When you do some research on the oil, it's a good read as far as "fitting" to a Model A Engine..

Shoot! (objectively, please..)
