I just had a valve job done on my 1984 Spider. I had always used Castrol 20-50but now I am wondering what other owners are using.
My machine shop told me to use an addative ZDDB which contains zinc. Personally, I have never heard of this. I have a mechanic for my other cars and they have never heard of using this stuff.
So I am in a quandry. Am I using the wrong oil? Incorrect viscosity range? or am I fine? or is this is just atypical for a Spider. Can has 60k original miles. I need a new cam, lifter and valve for #2. Any Ideas or Suggestions?
Also, I live in Central/Northern NJ and I need a good Alfa mechanic. Not Col-Gen in Newark. Anyone have an alternative. Would very much like to hear from you.
