Lucas 20/50 High Zinc. You're original call was probably correct, the "rod was worn"

Kind of a personal question there Bob.

Glad you found the problem. Every thing has to be in order for it to work. Have fun driving Ronliv.

Are your bearing clearances on the loose side for the 20-50? If not, 50 weight oil robs power.

I don't know the answer to this question. I'm using what was recommended to me by the shop who did my engine rebuild. It's not a race car, I don't drive it much faster than 75mph on the highway, I'm not squealing tire all over the place either. The engine seems to run fine and has all the power I need. But I'll ask the question, thanks!
