We normally aren't into high-end car stereo stuff, but sometimes a product comes along we find intriguing. This is Pioneer's new flagship AVIC-Z120BT Navigation and Entertainment System. We think they need to come up with a simpler name. Still, if you're into high-tech electronics, this thing is cutting edge. (http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles/ccrp_1009_pioneer_avic_z120bt_navigation_entertain ment_system/index.html)We Test It
Break-in Oil
We were breaking in the engine on the CC/Rambler when we noticed a big list of do's and don'ts pertaining specifically to the new MSD distributor gear. It should be lubed with a zinc- or moly-based break-in lubricant (like the tube of goo from Comp Cams) prior to the installation of the distributor. No synthetic oils should be used during the break-in period. Use only standard 30- or 40-weight or multiviscosity oil such as 10W-30 or 20W-50. On highly modified engines with more than 70 psi (cold), the gear should be broken in with a racing-grade mineral oil. These warnings led us to use engine break-in oil and we haven't had a problem since. The oil has extra zinc and phosphorous that is designed to take it easy on new parts in a racing engine, and it will even make sure your cheapo flat-tappet cam stays oval shaped.
How Much: $7.95 per quart
