What Motor Oil do you guys recommend on a rebuilt engine?
thanks!!!

SAME OIL AS ANY 4 STROKE AIR COOLED ENGINE
if you overbore, is from the oil contamination can occur faster,the engine works on bearings, i use castrol sae 40 or 30 on winter and
20w50 on sumer ( i live on the baja cal desert area )

Yep, Castrol GTX 20-50. It has reasonably high levels of anti-wear ZDDP, though there are some who say that for engine break-in, even higher levels of ZDDP might be needed. I've gotten some ZDDPlus additive, myself.
Whatever you do, DO NOT use any oil that says "Resource Conserving" on the round API icon on the bottle. Those types of oils have quite low levels of ZDDP, and will definitely lead to premature engine wear, particularly on the valve lifters. (Those oils are okay only for newer cars that have roller lifters.)
Note that some Castrol oils are the "Resource Conserving" type, and should NOT be used in our older cars. Make sure to look at the round API symbol and make sure that the words "Resource Conserving" ARE NOT there when choosing your oil.

I'm itching to try some synthetic Mobil 1 , 15-40 wt. turbo truck oil in my Z coupe. The 20-50 seems so thick, and we have such a cool cliamte I don't think it ever warms up enough. Hoping for a little more zip !
