Re: Help, What oil should i use?

We ideally need to know which engine (put this in your signature). Since the top end rebuild i have only used Valvoline VR1 20/50 mineral oil in my DG.  Factor in an oil change every 6 months irrespective of mileage: https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-73741-valvoline-vr1-racing-20w-50-refined-mineral-engi...

Re: Oil Change

Hi Stu,

I agree - I’d just take it nice and easy and drop oil and filter at 500 - that’s what I did with mine, but didn’t change the bearing’s like you have.

I’m sure one of the guru’s will be able to confirm.

:ok

Re: Garage in or near Huntingdon?

Type 2 Detectives have been around a while and are quite well known in the air cooled circles.  I've not had any personal experience of them but might be worth giving them a call for advice.

Re: Tuning a dg is it possible??

I'm running Marco Mansi 1:35 rockers, a Speedshop exhaust and Weber carb.  The engine was subject to a top end rebuild in 2018 and was pushing out 85bhp on the last rolling road in 2021 - details can be seen here: https://club8090.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=173273 She is still pulling strong and ru...
