Valvoline is the first motor oil company. Dr. John Ellis, the inventor of a petroleum lubricant for steam engines, founded Valvoline in 1866, in Binghamton, New York, as the "Continuous Oil Refining Company". In 1868, Ellis renamed his Binghamton Cylinder Oil to the more memorable Valvoline...
I don’t get posting so much on the socials, I’ve done it and will do more, but some people just put everything out there for different reasons but I’m too private for that. Whatever her issues are I wish her the best, I met her when I was a little kid and she was in HS I guess, but already on TV...
They are so fickle these cars. My GTO had the usual induction system: high rise intake & 4bbl carb. 9.8:1 CR. I had to use 98 octane [ similar to your 95 ] to stop det. Had cold air induction, cool running engine. Could get det on very hot days.
Switched to a completely different induction...
What model Phoenix? I always wondered where mine went.
There are odd looking marks on the gaskets emanating from coolant holes. Crack in the deck?
If you need heads or a block, have a mate in Syd would likely have both. PM me if needed.
That is another good point....that it may be possible to make more power with less octane.
I've read for years that you should run the lowest octane that allows you to avoid detonation and that using a higher than needed octane is just wasting money.
Again, it isn't a daily driver. It is a hobby...
There are better cams than the stock 340 cam because the factory had to compromise.
My advice: it is real easy to put in a cam that is too big. It is much harder to pick the 'right' cam that gives you the extra performance but not at the expense of drivability.
You have already picked, nice...
You could hear det with your engine using a particular fuel. So you know & can hear it [ hearing still good ]? If do not hear det now with a cheaper fuel, go for it.....
I have seen tests where higher octane fuel made less HP than a lower octane fuel, so no point spending extra $$ if it does...
I’ve gotten around GPT’s restrictions in the past by saying something like ‘Schwarzenegger type of person’, don’t know if that still works.
I also don’t have a problem if an AI video can make money if it’s not stealing IP, it still involves work and time.
Congrats! Let us know how you like it as time goes on and you get some miles on it. I agree with the post about being leery when it comes to parking it in an attached garage. But then again I won’t park my gas heaps in my garage either.
