It is bonkers Julian, but Monty seems to love a good spanking to 8k and beyond

On a seperate subject, I belive this is the high zic addative James of M2R Motorsport slathered all over Monty's new cam lobes and buckets, apparently what was left over went straight in the sump with the liquid moly engine oil.

Anyway, it's all coming out tomorrow and with Monty having covered his first 800 miles on this potion. The new cams, buckets and special big end bearings should be nicely run in now, so with Castle Combe just around the corner next Thursday, tomorrow is the perfect day to get the fresh 5 litres of Fuchs Titan Race Pro S 5w50 in Monty's sump.

The above oil was recomnended for the early oil change, and as James fitted the ported big valve head, the Newman Phase 3 cams, the fresh set of buckets and the Mahle Motorsport tri-metal big end bearings, it made sense to take his recomnendation on the engine oil.
It's also nice to see the new oil now allows me to go to 11,500rpm, this must be true as it says so on the label

Finally, the advice was to fit a genuine Ford oil filter, so that's what Monty gets
