more than likely. if the pressure is low get it fixed or plan to build a new motor, not a bad idea anywayz

no high oil pressure can be a problem as well you can pick up foam in the pan h/v oil pump are ok in a 6 qt pan

gmkiller..man that 20/50 is heavy unless it's 90 degrees hope it's syth.

Yeah its only summer time when i get the stang out so its between 80-100 in the summer.Its not that big of a deal to run 20/50 except in the winter.I like running it in the summer and the motor definately likes it.Its added protection because it sticks to everything and stays where it needs to be a little longer.
