Re: Rebuilding Engine

Consider springing for a retrofit roller cam. Pricey, but you don't need to stress over the level of zinc/zddp in your oil.

I haven't yet found what the proper color is, though I understand many use Ford Gray (which is what I used on the motor in my '61).

If you can polish up some of the original color, you can probably have your local paint shop match it.
