As Lake Speed said, the antifoaming agents are the first things to go away, and agitating the oil to see how long the oil stays aerated tells if the antifoaming is still working. He demonstrates how...

Dan had the 2800 cam sitting on a shelf for several years and since this was, more or less, a stock style rebuild, he decided to throw it in. The 6X-4 heads are totally stock, except for the new...
