Changed the oil out today for Rotella 15W-40 like I had before. The Valvoline VR1 10W-30 was getting past the rings and leaving blue smoke. I tried out the VR1 because it has high zinc, but it's only made in 10W-30, 20W-50, and straight 30W. After some research it looks like Rotella still currently has about 1200 ppm zinc, which is good. So Rotella it is since my rings are worn and I'm tired of burning oil.
Initial results are positive, haven't seen any blue smoke from inside the car now. We'll see how it goes.

Went on a nice drive with a few friends. A '57 Chevy, a'30 Ford, and another 20's Ford that has been done into a tasteful 50's style rod. Total about 70 miles on country roads through beautiful scenery and a stretch on the freeway. Temps for the first half were 100 degrees and the car started fairly cool. It got warm up a long hill on the freeway, and some when I wasn't moving at a consistent speed. But overall did pretty well. I think it will be better once I run some Thermocure through the cooling system.

Nice sunset drive tonight with my wife. Nice colors, no wind. Had a few people ask to take pictures of the car while it was parked.
