cams

[lee]

my supra has a 5m-ge engine in it and my cams tick petty hard some times how can i fix that

[AJ]

Try 10-40w oil with a pint of Marvel Mystery Oil + filter change.

[lee]

i was running in it 10-30w and i just change it
so running thicker oil would help it stay up there and they would not tick as bad
if it does i will try that

[AJ]

I've run 10/40 for almost 20 years, when I have used 10/30 dino oil it seems I get more "ticking" from the valve train ie hydraulic lifters.

Your call I would change the filter and add a pint+ of Marvel.

[lee]

so you would recomend 10-40w fully synthetic

[Tanya]

Who said anything about synthetic? I would only use synthetic oil on a freshly rebuilt engine, otherwise you're asking for serious leakage from a weel worn in engine.

[AJ]

Nope, I would use a high mileage oil ie Valvoline Max Life or Castrol High Mileage or semi-synthetic.

so you would recomend 10-40w fully synthetic

Marvel Mystery Oil works wonders - I keep a gallon can in the garage and add a pint afer oil changes to all my cars

really? tell me more of this mysterious oil.

[AJ]

I have been using Marvel for almost 20 years starting with my old '72 Chevy C20 350V8 Pickup as a top engine lubricant in the gas when lead was phased out and as an oil additive to keep the engine clean of sludge, acid buildup in the oil.

In the '86 and my '95 pickup I use Marvel to top off the oil nearing an oil change and when changing the oil I usually add a 1/2 to 1 pint.
