I plan to use a standard "Obenöl" (can't find the english name for it, basically 2-stroke-oil for normal 4-stroke engines) in the Ford, I already read about it but is MMO really so much better?
For the oil I need a ZDDP additive anyway, as the LM 15W40 Formula "only" has 1000 ppm ZDDP, another 300 to 400 ppm wouldn't hurt.
Did you flush the motor while it ran or did you use the crank?
