Good for you.
Not everyone have an engine built by your machinist, iīm sure he did a good job for your racing engine.
Also, if you havenīt noticed, this is the street section and lots of folks here run with factory clearances and where 20w50 and 160°F thermostat is less desirable.
This is, among other things, what the article is about.
FWIW
