Speaking of oil, the CorvAircraft community has been using Rotella 15W-40 oil for years now, given that it has one of the highest zinc contents. Also, we add something called ZDDP MAXX to our oil at oil change time. Look for ZDDP MAXX on ebay. ZDDP is the active ingredient that matters...MAXX is just brandname. ZDDP is the stuff that most oils had in abundance until catalytic converters and other changes lowered it considerably in most oils. Adding ZDDP back into your oil is helpful, especially on a rebuilt engine, as it provides better lubrication between a new camshaft and lifters, preventing spalling, for example. I use it on the VW also.
