If I'm understanding this correctly, bearing clearances dictate the weight of oil you should run. But what if you don't know what those clearances are? Joe Lapine built the motor in my Cobra. I'll give him a call sometime to see what he recommends, but what if you don't know the builder? Is there a certain pressure hot and cold that will be a tell tale sign?
