<VV> Type of Motor Oil Question

[Mark Durham]

Rich, Richard Widman recommends a CI-4 or SL rated 10w30 oil.
When I built my motor, I remover the distributer and turned the oil
pump by hand until it built pressure, could not turn it any more, three
or four times. This flowed enough oil that it went clear out to the
rockers, so should be enough to pre lube the bearings. Then turn it
over with the starter to spray oil all over the cylinders, then install
spark plugs and see what you get! Mark Durham

Subject: <VV> Type of Motor Oil Question
Hi - Need to know the weight and type of oil to use in my 1966 110HP
Monza. I have read about people using Diesel oil since it has the
proper additives/properties needed for these older engines.

Also, this engine has not been apart expect to replace the push rod
tube seals, and has been not been run for five years, it was stored
with no oil, in the pan. Can I t add fresh oil/filter and turn it over
via the starter,  and then attach the ignition, or does it need to be
"primed" some how first.

Thanks
R. D.
