I think I am going to do this:
1) Drain the Mobil1 and replace with a SAE40 or 50. Nobody should be sorry for not liking
synthetic oil. It's a preference thing. Speaking of preference, what 40W do you use, Bruce? You can tell me offline if you are against bowing to a particular brand, etc...
2) Replace the M83 w/ a hi-vol pump. Can't see how it can hurt. Although, have had lots of people tell me I'm going to wear out the distributor gear w/ the hi-vol pump. I have a steel gear, though. Should I really be worried about that? (Steel gear and hydraulic roller cam)
3) Give fewer charity rides in London next year! (Nuke...what was I supposed to do? It was for the KIDS!)
Thanks to all for the insight.
No worries on going off, Bruce... I know the same question comes up over and over and over and it must get frustrating. 15 was a new "all-time-low" I saw, though.
I would really like to see the hot idle never go below 25 (hell....20!) and the hot cruise consistently over 50...and even over 60 at higher RPM applications. I'd feel better about the life of my motor.
I will post results as soon as I have any. Rest assured....
